“Oh, What a Celebration We’ll Have Today!” Universal Pictures Releases the Full Trailer for ‘Wicked: For Good’
Fellow Ozians! After over 6 months of waiting, Universal Pictures has released the trailer for Wicked: For Good. The follow-up to Wicked: Part 1, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo return as Glinda and Elphaba for the highly-anticipated sequel.
In this new film, “Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.”
Well, if you haven’t seen Act 2 of the Broadway musical this synopsis basically tells you what is going to happen. Moving on from that, the cinematograpghy for this film is going to be out of this world. Now, we will have to see how much they add into this new movie that wasn’t in the musical. I have some ideas, but I am holding them close to my chest until we get a little closer to the film’s release date.
Wicked: For Good hits theaters on November 21.
