It looked stupid................Hollywood tried this once already with “THE WIZ” that didn’t even make back its production budget.............
“Put a chick in it, and make her gay!”
No imagination half wits run hollyweird !
SAD!
It will flop BIGLY!
The POC witch is...green.
At least they kept THAT color original.
I wonder if she’ll melt also...
Its now automatic, “deconstructionist” pap, done at a Hollywood low IQ level.
I had no clue what that Wicked trailer was about, and probably half the commercials I saw in the Super Bowl.
Like the one with Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, and Tom Brady. No clue. Or Christopher Walken? Car commercial?
I remember once there was a computer commercial, that I was clueless about. The next day, it was revealed that no one in the country had a clue what it was about.
Isn’t is “Racist” to cast a Black woman as the “Wicked” Witch....and THEN, paint her as Green?!?!?
no interest at all.
Get a grip people. Who cares if the casting is colorblind? The original was made in 1939, during an era of segregation, where most people of color weren’t represented in film. Also a time when white actors played asians, blacks, and other people of color. It’s a fictional fairy-tale world. Why can’t a GREEN witch be played by an African american? Why can’t we reimagine a FICTIONAL world that has other people in it that aren’t white?? Our world isn’t just full or white people either, and neither is America. Who cares if we allow other races to be represented in a fictional story?? Seriously.
I don’t hear anyone freaking out about all the white actors who went blackface, or who played native American, asians, Arabs , etc. But you freak out when someone who in your mind should be white....but is played by someone who isn’t? It’s not like they are having Winston Church Hill played by a black North African or something.
This talk just makes you all look bigoted and plays into the racist stereotype that the left is trying to pain conservatives with.
I know bill clinton was the first black president...so does that Hillary was the first black first lady.
Cause she would be perfect as the role of wicked gold digging carpetbagger witch from Chicago.
Why is anybody concerned in either direction of the base coat of the person in the green makeup? Really guys, get over it.
It’s, once again, “the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.” I am going to state, emphatically, that there is but one Wizard of Oz movie; and that is the original! You cannot improve on a classic. You just caint!
Saw Wicked and it was good. The music was lovely.
I can’t imagine a movie though. They will screw it up.
Pretty funny phrase seeing as how it’s about a green person.
The black girl they chose for the role is butt ugly. I’m quite sure that was on purpose.
So I can plan on rearranging my sock drawer!!!
I've heard the scarecrow will be played by Joe Biden 🤓
Just NO…cannot any writers come up with original scripts anymore.. Tons of great historic figures thru the years.
I have read a few WWII books on say spies, like Madeline Forcade’s Secret War
