About Wicked movie:

After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

The film also stars Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba’s favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.

The cast of characters includes Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glinda played by Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots); a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman) and four-time Emmy winner Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) as the voice of Dr. Dillamond.

Wicked is produced by Marc Platt (La La Land, The Little Mermaid), whose films, television shows and stage productions have earned a combined 46 Oscar® nominations, 58 Emmy nominations and 36 Tony nominations, and by multiple Tony winner David Stone (Kimberly Akimbo, Next to Normal), with whom Platt produced the blockbuster Wicked stage musical. The executive producers are David Nicksay, Stephen Schwartz and Jared LeBoff.

Based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is adapted for the screen by the stage production’s book writer Winnie Holzman and by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. The Broadway stage musical is produced by Universal Stage Productions, Marc Platt, the Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.

Kathryn Bernardo Shares How She's Making Her Christmas More 'Panalo' and Special

Fresh from the blockbuster success of her recent movie, "Hello, Love, Again," TNT KaTropa Kathryn Bernardo is looking to make Christmas extra special by spending the holidays with her family.

“Ang importante naman ay ‘yung makakasama mo sa Pasko. We’ll keep it very simple, so you’re hopefully surrounded with love and good energy, and sana ‘yun yung makuha ko this year. This will be our first Christmas in our new house so nandito kami Christmas at New Year,” she said.

Kathryn revealed that this Christmas will be all about a simple dinner, exchange of gifts, and a family photo shot in their first Christmas in their new home.

“Hindi na kami makikipagsabay sa mga umaalis na tao this year. The past few months medyo dire-diretso ang work ko so I just want to stay home, get some rest, and then bond with my family. We’ll keep it very simple,” she said.

Kathryn’s ideal Christmas would not be complete if she couldn’t get hold of her friends and loved ones abroad, so she relies on her phone to easily stay connected through messages, impromptu catchups via video calls, and sharing of photos and videos real-time.

"We're very lucky dahil using our smartphones, it's so much easier now to get in touch with our KaTropas and loved ones to share the warmth of our love this Christmas - anytime and anywhere," Kathryn said.

"Sa simpleng pag-share ng greetings, stories, video messages, pwedeng gawing panalo ang Pasko kasama ang mga mahal natin sa buhay," she added. Now, TNT subscribers around the country also have more reasons to connect with their KaTropas this Christmas because the more they load up TNT SAYA ALL 99, the more entries they can earn and accumulate in the ongoing TNT Paskong Panalo Raffle Promo.

TNT subscribers have until Dec. 28 to join the exciting promo for a chance to be among the 5 lucky winners of Php1 million each in the grand raffle draw (TNT will draw one grand winner each from North and Central Luzon; NCR; South Luzon; Visayas; and Mindanao), making their Christmas extra special and memorable.

(Trailer): "The Electric State" Starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, Launching Globally March 14, 2025 on Netflix

In the aftermath of the robot war, the only path forward is into "The Electric State".

Starring Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci and directed by the Russo Brothers, The Electric State launches globally on March 14. Only on Netflix.

The Electric State is a spectacular adventure from the directors of Avengers: Endgame set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising. Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is upended one night when she’s visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher -  Michelle’s genius younger brother whom she thought was dead. Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost, Michelle sets out across the American southwest with Cosmo, and soon finds herself reluctantly joining forces with Keats (Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World), a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats and Michelle find a strange, colorful group of new animatronic allies - and begin to learn that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever expected.

The Electric State is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and stars Brown, Pratt, Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Giancarlo Esposito, Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci, and Woody Norman. Mackie, Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, and Alan Tudyk lend their talents as the voices of the robots. The film is based on the graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag with a screenplay written by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.

"The Electric State" premieres globally on Netflix March 14, 2025.
