Director Jon M. Chu recently revealed exciting details about the highly anticipated upcoming Wicked movie in a preview with Vanity Fair. The film, which is set to be released this Thanksgiving, has already generated buzz for its unique approach to the music.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the movie is the decision made by stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo to opt for live vocals during filming, rather than pre-records. Chu expressed initial concerns about the challenges of live vocals, but the actresses were confident in their abilities and pushed for the authentic experience.
The choice to use live vocals has drawn comparisons to the successful film adaptation of Les Misérables, which also featured live singing. Speculation is now swirling about the potential impact of live vocals on the overall quality of the Wicked movie.
Fans of the beloved musical can expect a fresh take on the story, with Grande and Erivo showcasing their vocal talents in a whole new way. With the first Wicked movie just around the corner, hopes are high for an entertaining and successful film that will captivate audiences. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting musical adaptation.
