Elphaba-Jennifer Garner(is it just me or does Jennifer's voice sound like Idina's? watch one of her movies and then listen to Indina live and you'll hear it, trust me it's freaky) and Jennifer can actually sing and has done musical theater and can convincively play a sweet misfit(13 going on 30) and a kickass rebel(Electra), she's second best for elphaba(idina first of course)

Glinda-Reese Witherspoon if she had miracle singing lessons or maybe Christina Applegate

Fiyero-Ewan Mcgregor(I don't have to explain do I?)

Wizard-Richard Gere(has the animation and voice)or Cosby lol

Morrible-Glen Close(she's super good for morrible type characters)

Dr. Dillamond-John Cleese or Christopher Lloyd

Nessa-Anne Hathaway(love to see her in that role lol)

Boq-Elijah Wood(no need to explain lol)

There is no doubt in mind that a movie will be made. I'm happy they signed Indina, but it would be great to have the rest of the OBC. That really sucks about Kristen. You know who would make a great Glinda? I think it was mentioned before but Reece Witherspoon. I'm not sure on the singing yet, so I can't wait to see her perform in Walk the Line. She had to do all her own singing, so I reserve the right to change my answer.

I just saw the musical, and I loved it. But, if there were to be a movie I would like it to be closer to the book. That way there could be a sequal, also I think book had a bit more appeal to the movie going market.

Wicked would be a great movie....although i do think they should stick to the story of the musical....and just add some stuff from the book into the movie.i'll hush now..hehe.
My Dream Cast for the movie:
Elphaba- Idina Menzel, Kate Winslet(she can sing)

Glinda- i like the idea of hilary duff doing it....even as the older glinda...they could make her look older(movie magic) or renee zellwegar*spell check

Seriously, there would be people who WOULDN'T see it simply because it had Hilary Duff--not really devoted Wicked fans, but still. Plus, she has a pop voice, and Galinda needs to be very versatile.

There's no reason why Idina shouldn't do the movie.

And I love the book, but they can't just "add in" elements of it for a movie based on the musical. The stories are too different.
