Wicked confirms epic runtime ahead of cinema release
As a devoted musical theater enthusiast with a soft spot for the magical world of Oz, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming big screen adaptation of “Wicked”. Having grown up listening to the original cast recording and seeing multiple stage productions, I can confidently say that this story has been an integral part of my life.
Wicked‘s first part has confirmed its epic runtime ahead of its release.
Next month, the eagerly awaited movie version of the popular musical is set to premiere in theaters, with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo portraying the characters Galinda and Elphaba respectively.
According to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), the duration of the film is set at approximately two hours and forty minutes, which equals 160 minutes.
The story Wicked serves as a precursor to The Wizard of Oz, tracing the journey of two companions who eventually transform into adversaries. This transformation sets them on their individual paths, leading one to become the Good Witch of the North and the other to become the Wicked Witch of the West.
Recently, Grande addressed the uproar surrounding a modified version of the film’s poster, where the design was adapted to mimic the original stage musical’s poster, featuring Elphaba’s hat angled lower and her lip color altered.
Erivo deemed the alteration as both “offensive” and “demeaning,” and additionally voiced her disapproval towards the modified AI-crafted design of the poster.
As a gamer, I shared with Variety: “It’s quite complex for me because AI can be both fascinating and frustrating at times. But, it feels like we’re all going through a huge transition phase. This is something monumental, far beyond us, and the fans are going to have a blast tinkering around. They’ll create their own edits, making this experience unique for each of them.
She expressed, “My admiration for my sister, Cynthia, runs deep, and I cherish her immensely. At the moment, it’s a time of significant change. There’s an overwhelming sense of awe about something that towers over us both.
Meanwhile, it’s been disclosed by Jonathan Bailey, who played Fiyero, that a nude picture of him hidden within his character’s footwear remains unseen and undiscovered.
Wicked is in cinemas on November 22.
