Wicked the movie in my opinion is either going to get widely accepted from audiences or it’s not going to reach as many people as the production team had originally planned. However, I am still excited to see how vast this production becomes once it is off stage and on screen. Not only with the use of CGI but also puppets and a film schedule help to elevate some of the concerns and constraints that a stage show might put on a production. Having never seen the staged version, it will be interesting to hear about how the movie differs or is similar to the staged version. I think the biggest takeaway is that even though the production team decided to use CGI to fully encompass the vastness of the set, they still have physical sets that relish in this vastness. For example, the 9 million bulbs of tulips that the production team planted in Norfolk England for the tulip fields in Oz are just spectacular. Adding CGI to reinforce this spectacular-ness increases the anticipation for this movie.
