I was over on PinkIsTheNewBlog website and stumbled across some fascinating and Wicked news.Wicked, The Musical is being made into a Full Length Movie. SWEET... I am almost at the end of the actual book written by Gregory Maguire and i am sooo drawn into the story its nuts. It takes a lot for me to read but this book gets you right in there. You really feel for the Wicked Witch of the West.. She ain't bad folks.. She ain't bad!!
Marc Platt has extended his contract with Universal Pictures for five years, according to Variety. Marc Platt Productions currently has several projects of interest to theatre plans in the works, including a film version of the international hit Wicked, a remake of the 1973 Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice film “Jesus Christ Superstar” and a new motion picture about the life of the late composer George Gershwin. Universal Pictures production president Donna Langley told the industry paper, “Our goal now is absolutely to make the Wicked film, but much like Judy Craymer wouldn’t give up screen rights to Mamma Mia! until the stage show had reached its pinnacle, Marc and Stephen Schwartz are very mindful of the right timing. But we’re dying to do it.” Platt told Variety that he and Wicked co-producer David Stone are currently in “early movie talks” with the studio. Winnie Holzman, who penned the Tony-nominated book for Wicked, will write the film’s screenplay. No casting has been mentioned. [Source]
