After years and years of improvement, the Depraved film, based mostly on the hit Broadway musical, is lastly taking place. However right here’s an surprising twist — they’re not making a Depraved film. They’re making two Depraved motion pictures.
That announcement got here from the director of the movie(s), Jon M. Chu. He wrote on Twitter that because the crew ready for manufacturing “it turned more and more clear that it will be inconceivable to wrestle the story of Depraved right into a single movie with out performing some actual harm to it.” They tried reducing songs and characters however determined that felt like “deadly compromises to the supply materials that has entertained us all for therefore a few years.”
That’s the place the notion of two motion pictures got here in. Chu says that may imply they’ll “inform the story of Depraved because it was meant to be advised whereas bringing much more depth and shock to the journeys of those beloved characters.” You’ll be able to learn his full assertion beneath:
The important thing forged of Depraved consists of Ariana Grande as Glinda the Good Witch and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, the Depraved (or probably not so depraved) Witch of the West; the Broadway present reveals how the basic story of The Wizard of Oz was not as cut-and-dry because it appeared.
In line with Google, Depraved on Broadway runs 2 hours and half-hour plus a 15 minute intermission. That doesn’t appear too lengthy for a single film? I supposed in case you are actually centered on a youngsters’ viewers and ensuring they don’t get stressed, a 150-minute film may be pushing it. Then once more Spider-Man: No Means Residence was two hours and 28 minutes with out an intermission and that simply made virtually $1.9 billion worldwide in theaters.
So is it actually too lengthy for one movie? I suppose we’ll see how individuals react to paying to see half the story in 2024.
