Because Wicked is two films, according to Stephen Schwartz
When it was announced a few months ago Unpleasant would be two films, Jon M. Chu shared that as pre-production continued, it became “clearer and clearer” that it would be “impossible” to make. Unpleasant as a single film without “really hurting him”. Schwartz elaborated this with these words:
The truth is, we tried to make a movie out of it for a while, even though it had to be a very long movie. But we still have two problems. The first is that even as a single, very long film, it required us to cut or omit things we wanted to include that we think fans of the series and the story will appreciate.
when you go to see Unpleasant whether it’s on Broadway or one of its touring shows, the duration is two hours and 45 minutes. like him Unpleasant The filmmakers who developed the film decided they needed more time on the big screen than the typical film, which may have made the shoot too long.
The Musical Number Wicked: Part I may end up with
When updating fans in next movie , Stephen Schwartz also revealed the end of the first part. In his words:
Secondly, we found it very difficult to beat ‘Defying Gravity’ non-stop. This song was written specifically to bring the curtain down and any scene that followed inexorably felt extremely underwhelming. So for those two reasons, in addition to the fun of doing something that had never been done before with a musical, we decided to make two films. Of course, when it’s all over, if it doesn’t work that way, we’ll have to find something to do. But we firmly believe it’s best for our story, our show and our fans.
As fans of the musical know, Act 1 of Unpleasant ends with a bang when Elphaba turns to the dark side in a way and becomes a complete witch, enchanting a broomstick, swearing vengeance on the wizard and flying out of the Emerald City. The spectacular melody that concludes the musical’s first act is “Defying Gravity”, a tumultuous duet between Elphaba and Glinda.
Based on Stephen Schwartz’s recent words, it seems they felt the need to end the film with this song to give the audience a break from a musical climax. On stage, the moment comes just as the curtain closes and the audience has an intermission. In case of Unpleasantit looks like audiences will be a year away from the big moment and the rest of the story.
