Caffeinated Clint
Moviehole caught up with Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth (soon to be seen in the film “Four Christmases” with Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon) this week who talked a little about a possible feature film version of the stage hit “Wicked”.
”Well, will it ever be made?” asks the actress, ”Yes, I do think it will be made. I think – you know, there’s some sort of thing going on right now where everyone’s hearing that there’s going to be a movie. You know, there will be a movie. But I believe – and I could be wrong, but I believe it will be years before we see it as a movie, because – you know, Universal will really want to make sure that they suck it dry, so to speak in all the theaters. And if you look at movies like Chicago and Phantom of the Opera those were 20, 25 years after the fact. And I could see, definitely, me playing Madame Morrible at that point. But I hope they really do it soon, so that I’m young enough to play Glinda.”
Marc Platt and David Stone will produce the screen adaptation for Universal, with Winnie Holzman penning the script.
