Description

Wicked is a 2024 musical fantasy film directed by Jon M. Chu, based on the beloved Broadway production that itself adapts Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. The film tells the untold backstory of Oz, centering on the unlikely friendship between Elphaba — an ostracized young woman with green skin and extraordinary magical gifts — and Glinda, a privileged blonde with big ambitions and an even bigger personality.

The film stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, with a supporting cast including Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, and Michelle Yeoh. Director Jon M. Chu, whose work on Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights proved his instinct for emotionally charged spectacle, brings a sense of wonder and heartbreak to one of musical theater's most celebrated stories.

Wicked grossed over $700 million worldwide during its theatrical run, proving the enduring power of the stage musical's devoted fanbase. The first of two films, its sequel Wicked: For Good is set to continue and complete the story in 2025 — making this one of the most ambitious split-film musical adaptations in Hollywood history.

Filmed by Chris Stokes with quite moderate even for musical budget of 15.000.000 USD, Battlefield America tells us a story about the hopeless pre-teens that were turned into the professional dance team by the young entrepreneur. You may be familiar with Chris Stokes' "You Got Served", and that means you know what to expect from this movie, because they have lots of similarities both in filming style and in energy of performance. The movie also features many new faces (which is not surprising, taking into consideration the limited budget). Among newbies we have Christian Ijin Link, Camren Bicondova, Chris Trousdale, Christopher Jones, Zach Belandres, Kida Burns and Tristen M. Carter. The rest of the cast may be known to you. Lynn Whitfield which is playing Mrs. Parker is a co-producer of The Redemption of a Dog, and actress played Glenda Hill in 2008 year movie "The Women". Another more-or-less known actor is Marques Houston who played Elgin in the abovementioned "You Got Served". It worth to mention another member of the cast - Valarie Pettiford filmed in Battlefield America as Ms. Williams. You can remember this talented actress as Aunt Geneva from Jumping the Broom. The critics weren't unanimous in their receptions of this movie, but if you like such movies as Footloose, Step Up and Step Up: Revolution you'll distinctively enjoy Battlefield America (and we have to say that your chances are seriously rising up if you are the big fan of Glee, too.)
