Another Spectacular Making Of Featurette for the ‘Wicked’ Movie(s)

“What does it feel to be in Oz?” Universal has unveiled another gorgeous new behind-the-scenes featurette for the Wicked movies, with Part 1 set to launch in theaters in November near the end of this year. They’re really trying to build up the hype big time early on! There’s already been the teaser + full trailer, another making of featurette, and the LEGO trailer, plus more promos. After two decades as one of the most beloved & enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season. Directed by filmmaker Jon M. Chu (of Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba Thropp, a young woman with green skin who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. Ariana Grande co-stars as Glinda, with Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, Keala Settle, plus Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz. I always love seeing them spend the money to build massive sets (and these are huge!!) trying to make everything as real as possible. Sometimes it’s worth it! And they went all out making these Wicked movies. Don’t forget, even though they’re playing it like it’s one movie, the second part is still set for release in 2025. // Continue Reading ›
