After several years of taking the stage by storm, is it too soon to talk about a film version of the musical "Wicked"? "Actually, we haven't talked about it at all," composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz told Playbill.com.
He added "My assumption has been that because [Wicked producer] Universal is a motion picture company that eventually they are going to get around to wanting to talk about a movie, since they have the right of first refusal on it. But at this point it's still kind of early in the game for us. We're just starting to launch some of the foreign productions and it remains to be seen the extent to which this will translate outside of he United States. We're going to learn that over next couple of years."
The musical, based on the Gregory Maguire novel, tells the backstory of the witches of "The Wizard of Oz".
