The other day we were talking about the possible adaptation of one of the Broadway hits to the cinema: "Wicked", a musical that is a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz."
It seems that Universal has the rights to the adaptation, but the producer of the musical wants to examine well which director could manage to transfer the success to the film format. The names shuffled remain JJ Abrams, Rob Marshall, Ryan Murphy, and James Mangold.
More about these directors in hitfix.
