Gregory Maguire wrote the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West in 1995. It became a hit stage musical in 2003. After many delays, the movie version is finally coming to a theater near you in the film Wicked. Cynthia Erivo plays Elphaba in her younger years, before she became the Wicked Witch of the West. Ariana Grande plays Galinda before she becomes the Good Witch of the North. These two very different young women meet when they are assigned as college roommates. The movie also features Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang, and Peter Dinklage. In case you haven't guessed yet, this is a prequel story for The Wizard of Oz. But it will only be half the story. Wicked opens November 27, and Wicked Part Two is expected to follow on November 26, 2025.
How come Peter Dinklage is in so many American movies ?
ReplyDeleteIts not proportional to the small number of different heighted people in the 50 states of being American, and so comes up short and has little connection to real, or fictional, life.
A lowly attempt to be woke.
Just like a few years ago when you had Tom Cruise in every darn movie.
It was near always Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks .
How many people in America, 342 million ?
Is this movie like a combination of The Addams Family and Harry Potter ?
ReplyDeleteDinklage is the voice of an animal in the Land of Oz, so neither height nor nationality made any difference in casting.
