rage.
There was an article in my newspaper yesterday about the possibility of Wicked making it to the big screen. Some of the writer's personal choices to play the leading ladies (since some casting director told him to bring up some ideas) were as followed: Lea Michele from Glee or Demi Lovato for Elphaba, and Taylor Swift or Dakota Fanning for Glinda.
Gag me, Chicago Sun-Times, you are the worst.
And I'm not even touching who their personal choices for Fiyero. Trust me, you don't want to know.
The only lady I can see pulling off the role of Elphaba is Lea Michele. Not only does she sorta look like the original cast member Idina Menzel (no, seriously, google it, the resemblance is fittingly frightening), but I heard she has Broadway credentials since she was a little girl. Also, she sang "Defying Gravity" before, and it's one of my (very few) favorite Glee songs.
Everyone else is just a huge NO, and I hope that if they ever do make a movie they'll actually pick the right people instead of whose popular.
(Personally I'd rather not see anyone from Glee in the movie since...well, I hate the show. Apologies to anyone on my flist who loves it, but I'll never understand its popularity.)
TLDR: LEAVE WICKED ALONE, IT'S FINE THE WAY IT IS, UGH.
