Wicked Musical Movie?

Question

If Wicked were to be made into a movie later what certifivate might it be?

None of this "I hope there won't be a Wicked movie" because I am not interested and this is for Wicked die-hard fans who are hoping for a movie.

Do you reckon it might be PG or U?

It definetely will not go any higher than 12!

Answer 1

There are plans for a movie based on Wicked the musical by 2014.

From interviews with Gregory Maguire, the author of Wicked, basis for the musical of the same name.

Inteview#1

Q: What was your reaction when they first talked to you about your novel 'Wicked' being made into a musical? Has anyone ever asked you about it being made into a film?

GM: Within 10 days of the book's publication in the US, I started to get film offers. I had three and a half years' worth of film scripts, each one of which was worse than the one before!

When that interest began to erode (Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings hadn't come out yet) and the notion of a Broadway play came up instead, really in my heart of hearts I just thought [*singing and leaping from his chair*] 'Broadway!'. What was not to love about it?

There will eventually be a film of 'Wicked' the musical but probably not for four or five years.

Interview#2

According to Maguire, there are plans to bring out a film version of “Wicked” in the year 2014. “That’s the 10-year anniversary of its Broadway debut,” he said, “which is exactly what happened when the play ‘Chicago’ came out as a film a few years ago. Since ‘Wicked’ is breaking attendance records all over the world, there’s no need to rush a film out now.”

Answer 2

I'd say PG-13 because nowadays little things make movie ratings ridiculous haha. But I'm sure it being PG-13 wouldn't affect the number of kids that see it...

Answer 3

There WILL be a Wicked movie-it's been confirmed in an interview with Gregory Maguire, the author of the original Wicked book. I think that it will be PG-13 (or 12) not R (or U)-it would only be that if they made a movie of book (which is VERY innapropriate), but I think that if they make a movie, it will be of the musical.

Answer 4

i think it will be PG - PG-13 but that's just my opinion.

Answer 5

Yeah, i would say PG-13 (or 12, depending on which country you're from)

Its a little too risque for PG but it def wouldn't deserve an R (or U) rating.

Answer 6

There won't be a movie.  The people who made the show are making plenty of money.  That show is being run all over the world.  There's just no point.

Answer 7

Absoultly PG!! i heard those rumors of a movie for years but i really do hoe they actually make one

EDIT: one wikipedia some guy said in 2004 that there will be a film from the adapted show but not four or five years!!!! 2004 plus four is 2008!!!!!!
