ATRL Moderator Azulito Posted April 26, 2022 Author ATRL Moderator Posted April 26, 2022 Two movies 1
TaylorNation Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I guess the first movie will cut to black after Defying Gravity? also I hope they don’t use this extended running time to actually show Dorothy and the other characters, they way it’s done in the show is perfect
Slate Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 So far away but I'm excited hopefully we get more casting announcements soon
NavyBlue Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Y’all I have faith in Ari and Cynthia. I just hope Chu can get his **** together and give us the movie(s) we deserve!!! Please for the love of God don’t **** it up.
mxoonlight Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 This is going to be a lot. ? I’m going to try to stay optimistic though.
Blue Monday Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Dune waited until opening weekend to have part 2 greenlit and announced, so the studio must be feeling very confident about this... I honestly don't know what to expect
Lost In Paradise Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 This is so dumb. why would anyone see Part 2? The best songs are all in Act 1. The musical is 2 hours and 40 minutes and has some stuff they could’ve cut for the movie. We didn’t ask for a Wicked extended universe. Just a ******* good Wicked movie.
Jjang Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Yeah this is a dumb decision. I would cancel the project all-together tbh.
Mikeymoonshine Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I love wicked but I'm not sure it's two movies worth of content tbh.

Gui Blackout Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Yeah two movies is absolutely not necessary, I mean this ain't Dune the musical is around 2 and half hours, that's more than enough for a movie My excitement kinda nosedived

justinxx Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 i guess each movie is going to be less than two hours

Coma Baby Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) This project already sounds like a nonstarter. They're setting themselves up. What happened to the Hercules live action movie? Meg would have been a much better role for Ariana. Edited April 26, 2022 by Coma Baby
Jack! Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 This is... a choice. I'm anxious about how this is going to translate into the big screen as it is, but I'm personally not sure two instalments is necessary. I get this was a book and there's more story to explore than what the musical goes off on as well, but other than Ariana fans, the core audience for this will be fans of the musical, and I think theres enough to cut to still make one instalment successful. The Phantom of the Opera went from 2:45 runtime to 2:20 and was still able to be successful enough to be the most successful movie adaption of a musical of all time. I don't know there's enough to stretch out of both Wicked acts to make this work, but we'll see.
Lille Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Musicals are already dying at the box office, this director's last musical was a massive bomb and this led them to think "We should do TWO"? Another (two) flops in the basket.

I just thought it was uneven. some amazing bright spots, and a lot of numbers and scenes that fell flat. but I respect you as one of the only other theatre queens on this site so I'll give it a rewatch and hopefully I'll be more optimistic
