Are people born wicked?…..as Universal Pictures releases the official trailer for the much-anticipated film adaption of the Broadway hit Wicked. View trailer below.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart. The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
I was wondering when the film’s “official trailer” was going to drop. I know there was the movie’s “first look” preview, which many considered to be the project’s “teaser trailer”, but it didn’t feel like a proper one. This official trailer definitely feels like one…and quite the lengthy one that (not that I am complaining about it). This extended preview showcases plenty of footage from the upcoming film and it all looks incredible. Erivo and Grande look fantastic in the story’s lead roles and are almost a perfect casting choice in that regard. Plus, the film’s supporting cast looks just as great. I never had the chance to see Wicked on Broadway, so I am quite eager to see this movie.
Wicked flies into theaters on November 27th, 2024
