Demi Moore Confirms She Tried to Make WICKED in the ‘90s! (Exclusive)

[@da96103]

A scene from Demi Moore's Wicked. Galinda does pottery and Elphaba comes up behind her and hold G's hands and they made a set of two bowls, one for each of them.

[@fbueller]

Love it!!!

this awards season is one of my favorites

[@tattooedandy93]

Both of them speak so beautifully about working in the film industry.

[@AlternateMichael]

This man Colman Domingo is so charming, articulate, what a really good talker with a really good soothing voice. This man can make anyone feel warm, welcome and charmed. Dude is like a rizzler I see why they call him Domingo now This man made Lenny Kravitz and now Demi Moore feel amazing and beautiful

[@Xenomiggs]

The Demissaince is real! ❤❤❤❤

[@barbarjinks8170]

She still looks and sounds just like Esmeralda.

[@norijean3279]

She'll always be Esmeralda, she was amazing in that role 🥰💕💕

[@norijean3279]

Demi would've been perfect Elphaba, she discovered Wicked before anyone else and saw the movie potential 🙏🏻

[@dekar43]

Well Marc Platt from Universal (who actually produced the current Wicked movie) already was trying to adapt Wicked from the novel into a movie at the time (like Demi said here) but then Stephen Schwartz came along and convinced Marc to make it into a stage musical first

[@dw1419]

@@dekar43 TBH "thank goodness" for the changes Schwartz & Holtzmann made to the material. The musical actually has a lot of fun and humor, elements lacking in the bleak, vi0lent, s3xu@IIy expl!c!t revisionist version of Oz in Maguire's novel. Let's not forget that in the 90's Demi Moore did some very... adult roles and that would fit with some of what Maguire has Elphaba do for better or for worse.

[@pallafox]

that would've been the non musical adaptation, the difference between the 2 is like night and day and would've been HORRENDOUS to watch. So thank god Schwartz and Holtzmann swooped it out of their hands and did the musical first.

[@zydration3538]

"Before anyone else" aside from the million other people who also read it ...

[@zydration3538]

​@@dw1419I see this massive exaggerated sentiment often, and frankly it reads like parroted criticism from people who either haven't read the source material or have forgotten it. This book is a hard PG-13 at worst. It's also ridiculous to pretend the original source material of the Oz book was absent of those very same things. Again, it feels more like repetition than commentary from actual knowledge.

[@Mar-ME-s3h]

Both so articulate & good looking. Demi is beautiful & timeless. ⭐️

her face is not ! It's brand new.

[@mattbernabe]

I can definitely picture Demi and Whoopi in a early 90s version of Wicked. That would have been amazing!

[@imqsqs]

not whoopi

[@mattbernabe]

@imqsqs Yes! Whoopi, darling!!

[@da96103]

Patrick Swayze is Fiyero......perfect.

[@AlternateMichael]

I think Demi Moore is an absolutely beautiful woman and when I get my stuff together, keep cleaning, organizing, getting rid of bs and only have the best of everything and the best version of me as I possibly can. I cannot wait to get into acting and modelling. It would be a pleasure to work by Mrs. Moore. She kind of looks like my childhood crush Courteney Cox from the Scream franchise. I swear no one had a bigger crush on her than me, my type literally revolves around her to this day and that's quite literally the only thing I like

SKIP HERE TO THE ACTUAL PART ABOUT WICKED 👉 2:50

[@jellyrollnorton]

I’d love to see a miniseries of non-musical Wicked.

[@leora_in_london]

Me tooooo!

[@hlgrmdr9556]

please hire her for wicked 2 asap!!

[@dferzaremba]

WICKED: For Good (Part 2) was already filmed. Both parts of WICKED were filmed as one long film.

[@SamuelCharlesSanomAlbert]

in da 90s they woulda been like "musical? from a play not a movie?!"

[@jboao]

no it would’ve been a movie from a book, turned into a musical

[@SamuelCharlesSanomAlbert]

@@jboao it would of been like "the wizard of oz 2? are you fn kidding me? acually i wanna see a movie with a plot and characters i havent seen before"

[@rhettmitchell]

@@SamuelCharlesSanomAlbert at that point, there had already been quite a few Oz sequels and spinoffs already

[@SamuelCharlesSanomAlbert]

@@rhettmitchell like da one where dey get brutally raped and shit the prison show? that was terrible

[@Matt-rp4se]

@@SamuelCharlesSanomAlbertthere is a wicked novel that the musical is based off called “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.” The movie would have been based on this book.

[@ahmadtawbi]

Demi kinda looks like Idina Menzel too. She definitely could have pulled this off. I don't know about the singing too.

[@kp22kc]

She's talking about before the musical, when the book was new.

[@jboao]

it wouldn’t have been a musical movie, purely an adaptation of the novel with no songs.

[@jujub4553]

Demi would have been an amazing Elphalba! I wish we’d had a 90s book to movie version! That would have been great

[@dw1419]

It would not have been as successful, as the 1990's book is pretty darn bleak and a direct adaptation of it would be rated R. The musical made it not only PG but added humor and fun to Maguire's grim, violent, and overly s3xu@l version of Oz.

[@fbueller]

@@dw1419 Parents need to ne aware of this when their kids ask to read the book after seeing the musical or film.

[@zydration3538]

​@@dw1419the book is a pg13 at worst. No need to be so dramatic.

[@davidlaughs3144]

I could hear her talk all the time

aww😍

I love see so much of demi more these days , she has such a cool voice iunno very unique no one sounds like her lol

❤ demi

[@VegasValentineMusic]

Demi is almost exactly what i envisioned Elphaba to look like when I read the book (without the, you know, shark teeth and green skin)

[@jindriskavocetkova6984]

🌹

[@Canthatcrazy]

How is she 63!? Even her energy is 27 year old. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@PhancyPants99]

I always wondered why nobody made a movie of Wicked back in the day. I’m glad they waited. Modern digital effects made the amazing movie we got possible. This movie couldn’t have been done 30 years ago.

[@providence9481]

Yeahhh but it probably would’ve been done even better without the ease of digital and cgi. It would’ve been like a 90s version. And movies were so good in the 90s! And 80s. And 70s. Lol

[@claricesilva2700]

"It as a little ahead of it's time" We all know she means they made Glinda and Elphaba a couple🙄

[@harleysantillanes9677]

But wasn't the book released in 1995?

[@b3z3jm3nny]

So there were five years in the 90s she had the chance to buy the movie rights and try to make a movie…

[@dferzaremba]

@@b3z3jm3nny- producer Marc Platt bought the rights to the book around the same time Demi was after the rights. He’s the one who had WICKED adapted into a Broadway musical.

It took my eyes a moment to adjust and realize he wasn't wearing camouflage. Oops!

[@MrIzador]

Brad Pitt would’ve definitely been Fiyero if it were made back then! lol

[@szewei85]

Haha wonderful

[@MrNeilTV]

This is the tone of voice they talk to you right before the commit you to the nut house. “Everything’s going to be okay….your in danger” in that terrifying soothing monotone voice as the buckle you into the straight jacket. Lmao something straight out of American horror story.

[@thevalkyrie8]

All on the same pay… but people work in different ways with different skill and personality types… how do you measure that… how do you measure someone working harder than another because of different energy drive? So many variables

[@m00nl1ghtba3]

i can’t look at her the same after the substance

Is this the first relevant award season in 10 years? You can tell woke is over. Thank f**k!!!!

Demi! Whach'all do at Diddys?👹

[@Model_Roe]

I love Colman I love Demi I look forward to the Golden Globes tomorrow

[@jboao]

god the PR-crafted responses and ego stroking are nauseating. the guy on the left is so fake it’s unreal. the first half of this interview would make a great out of context meme. love Demi though and ngl, i would’ve loved to have seen a Wicked novel adaptation before the musical was even a thing!!! Demi would’ve made a fantastic pre-musical Elphaba!

[@hornet1883]

Anyone else think is weird that all of a sudden that DIDDY has been locked up. Demi started coming thru for camera time? SUSPECT She was with Ashton during that time.

[@mattbernabe]

No

[@burburchacha]

Such a blatant lie, Wicked didn't exist in the 90s

[@jakeakawayne6437]

The book was published in '95. I recall hearing she was attached at one point as well as Selma Hyack later.

[@dw1419]

@@jakeakawayne6437 the book is pretty... depressing and lacking in mass appeal compared to the musical. To put the 1995 book on screen it would probably have been rated R.
