Wicked has been a much-talked-about topic in Hollywood for many years now, and after all that time, filming is finally underway.Just recently, in fact, the first images of stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were released, exciting millions of fans of the show.While Grande and Erivo are already in the process of bringing the Broadway favorite to the big screen, they weren’t the only ones who wanted those roles, which are among the most highly-coveted in Hollywood in recent memory.In an interview with TheWrap, Dove Cameron revealed that she was also in the mix for the role of Glinda, though, of course, she didn’t end up snagging the part.“I definitely went out for it,” the actress confirmed at an event to promote the second season of the AppleTV+ show Schmigadoon. “I know that for everybody who did go out for it, it was a very long process.

Chu's upcoming adaptation of the lauded musical — and this week, fans got a first look at Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible!The Oscar-winning actress was spotted on the film's Buckinghamshire, England, set in costume as the Shiz University headmistress, clad in a stunning green gown with a golden bodice.

Perez saw the first footage ANYWHERE of Jon Chu’s new Wicked movie starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo! Lots of thoughts! And so much greatness at Universal and Focus Features’ Cinema Con presentation in Las Vegas!

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Universal brought the first-ever footage of Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda in the movie version of “Wicked” to CinemaCon, the annual movie theater owners convention in Las Vegas. Erivo and Grande weren’t on hand to perform, but viewers were able to hear the captivating sounds of classic tunes like “Defying Gravity” and “Popular” in the background of the dazzling, magical footage. In the never-before-seen clip, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible works with Elphaba to help her control her powers. “Once you learn to harness your emotions, the sky is the limit,” Morrible tells her student. The featurette gives a sense of the sweeping, brightly lit set and includes scenes of Elphaba roaming the halls of Shiz University before meeting Glinda, who presents her new roommate with that iconic pointy hat. (It’s really, uh, sharp. Don’t you think?) Later in the trailer, Jeff Goldblum makes an appearance as the wonderful Wizard of Oz, Glinda transports by bubble and Elphaba sports her signature broomstick.

The rough and unfinished footage opened with a young green witch trying to master her magical training and being told by instructor Michelle Yeoh she needs to harness her emotions. The footage was mixed in with the filmmakers talking about how and why they made the movie.

“We thought we’d give you a little taste of it,” said Universal Pictures boss about Wicked, which is in production in London with Jon Chu directing and Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the respective roles of Glinda and Elphaba.

Wonka, resulting in stomach cramps.The actor is set to portray a young Willy Wonka in the upcoming musical, which will be released later this year (December 15). The long-awaited film is the third film adaptation to be made of Roald Dahl’s popular children’s book Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week (via Variety), Chalamet revealed that he swam in real melted chocolate while filming.But despite his chocolate and sweetie-induced stomach cramps, the actor called the role “a dream come true”.He described past interpretations of Willy Wonka as “cynical”, before adding that “this is a Willy that’s full of joy and hope and desire to become the greatest chocolatier.”The character was first portrayed by Gene Wilder in the 1971 adaptation, and then again by Johnny Depp in 2005’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, directed by Tim Burton.Elsewhere at CinemaCon, a first-look trailer for Wonka revealed that Hugh Grant will play one of the Oompa-Loompas serving the chocolatier.In the extended footage, which was shown to exhibitors at the event, the fictional sweet treat developer comes across the Oompa-Loompa (Grant), who is trapped in a glass jar, and later hires him to work in his factory.The footage also paid homage to Singin’ In the Rain – showing Chalamet singing, dancing and spinning around a light pole while searching for magical recipes.

CinemaCon. “The Flash,” the DC Comics superhero adventure starring Ezra Miller, played to a mostly enthusiastic audience at the annual convention of movie theater owners in Las Vegas on Tuesday evening. In the lead-up to the debut, executives at Warner Bros. and DC touted “The Flash” as “one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.” It may not have cleared those stratospheric expectations (there was a little film called “The Dark Knight,” after all), but the finished product elicited plenty of cheers, laughs and maybe a few tears in the room at Caesars Palace. That said, CinemaCon is hardly the Cannes Film Festival. The audience at the Colosseum, filled with movie theater owners from across the globe, is one with a vested interest in the success of the blockbuster-hopeful. But showcasing “The Flash” in this capacity is yet another sign of Warner Bros.’ passionate support of the project, one that has been plagued over the years with controversies surrounding Miller, as well as myriad director shake-ups, COVID-19 delays and a regime change at the studio and at DC. CinemaCon marked the first screening of “The Flash” ahead of its theatrical debut on June 16.

A new trailer has been unveiled for “The Flash”, featuring the Scarlet Speedster racing through time, with the fate of the universe hanging in the balance.

Ezra Miller didn’t show up at CinemaCon, but The Flash director Andy Muschietti did, and he took time to praise the tabloid-laden actor, who stars in what is expected to be a huge blockbuster this summer on June 16.
