Film Version Of “Wicked” Gets Official Release Date

"I clash with everything."
From: NewNowNext
 Broadway queens rejoice: The long-awaited film version of Wicked will hit theaters December 20, 2019,

Deadline reports that the film will be directed by Stephen Daldry and produced by Marc Platt, who co-produced the stage version.


 Daldry has extensive chops in both the stage and film worlds—having helmed Broadway productions of An Inspector Calls, Via Dolorosa, Skylight and Billy Elliott: The Musical and the films Billy Elliot, The Hours, and The Reader.


No casting announcements have been made for the film version of the 2000 musical, which starred Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel. Personally, we’d love to see Kristin and Idina reprise their roles. Hey, if Harrison Ford can keep playing Indiana Jones, we don’t see why these two vivacious women can’t

Barring that, how about Kristen Bell and Lea Michele?
