Apparently the song titles were leaked. I'm not sure if it's real or just someone making stuff up.
1) All Good 2) A little Wicked 3) Bad Times 4) The Good, Bad, Wicked Witch

Sounds like it might be fake to be honest. Seems too early for this sort of information to be knocking around. I could be wrong though.
And if they're real they're not that inventive. The big keywords in the first three are just threaded together for the 4th song's title.

2019!?!!!!!!!!! Wouldn't put all your eggs into one basket that this will get made.... *Facepalm* Of course it will get made. The date of release doesn't mean that it won't get made at all. It will definitely get made considering the success of other musical movies, and also the fact that they've wanted to make it for years. They're already 4 days into development, so they've definitely started. Writing for new songs + script + an entire movie score + build all the sets and costumes and make them seem life like + find a suitable cast (which is very difficult in this case) + record it (probably record the singing first and the acting second) + edit it and add special effect.... It takes a while. 4 days into development? Ur kidding right? Which studio is producing?

I'm not making this up

Look at the Les Mis Wikipedia page, didn't take them 3 years! True. And the Les Mis movie was a piece of garbage. And I hate the fact that it will take them so long. But I'm just reporting what has been officially announced. The fact that it has a 2019 release date doesn't mean they won't make the movie

Universal, and other studios, do have a tendency to announce WAYYY in advance for big titles- look at the Marvel films, the Disney live action films, most films based on comics that have big names.
I still don't think this is a sure thing. Stuff gets announced and cancelled all the time, and while Wicked is a big seller as a stage poduction, musicals don't really do all that well on screen, critically or financialy (there are exceptions of course, but generally speaking here) EDIT I wouldn't say Les Mis was a "piece of garbage" - as it was pne of the more succesful musical films. I don't agree with alot if the direction choices, but it wasnt a bad film (maybe a poor adaptation but not a bad film in itself, in my opinion)
I'd love to see it happening though- but I'm not giving it too much thought right now. I bet when they start casting (well into next year probably) I'll be a little more invested in it.

I bet when they start casting (well into next year probably) I'll be alittle more invested in it. Some of the most recent movie musicals were pretty successful. Les Mis was a financial success and won several awards. And I think there's no way that a Wicked movie is not happening. Now that they've officially announced that they're doing it and are actually in development, I can't see any reason for them not to go through with it now. It has a huge following in the theatre world and it's a story that could draw big mainstream crowds as well. With the right casting (Talent over fame for the 2 leads and star names in the supporting roles, such as Kevin Spacey as The Wizard for example) and the right advertising, it should be a successful movie if done right.

Okay but before Les Mis(which you called upthread a piece of garbage so Im not sure I understand your stance) the last succesful ones were Chicago and Dreamgirls.. And I can't think of any others in recent times but perhaps Im mistaken)- those arent good odds. Phantom had a massive following, Andrew was spilling the money into that film- and THAT was a sh*t film in every way (execpt maybe some costumes, which didnt hold a candle to the original, and that 100 piece orchestra) These type of projects require smart, passionate producing. And sometimes they just fall through

I think Mamma Mia was financially successful as well.

Remember just because someone says they are going to do something doesn't always mean they will.
I think the general populous are less aware of Wicked than they where of Les Mis. And Les Mis didn't make THAT much money. I'd imagine they will see what kind of budget it will need to do it successfully and then realise that it's too expensive for what universal will get back

But the $64,000 dollar question is will China release it? Was Wizard of Oz ever a thing in China? If not then their box office is going to be a lot smaller

It does what it says on the tin. And great to see a load of really good actors having the time of their lives.

Producers and composers break promises too, or are u still holding out for Sondheims 'sunset boulevard' and 'groundhog day'?

Sorry? MY tone? What did I say wrong? We were just having a discussion. Someone said "you're kidding right?" because I said the release date was in 2019. Am I not allowed to say that this doesn't mean that it won't be made?

I was joking when I said "good". And I didn't mean to be rude, nor do I think I was. I was just defending my point of view.
