'Wicked': Long-awaited film of hit musical to be helmed by director Jon M Chu
scheduled for December 2021. However, in April 2020, amid the pandemic, Universal quietly dropped Wicked from its calendar, with nothing more to be heard of it until this week . In the Heights director Chu confirmed on Twitter on Tuesday that he had joined the project, revealing: "Most of my life I have felt out of place, weird and different. I hid behind my camera because people liked to be filmed and I could disappear.” “But when I saw Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman’s Wicked over 15 years ago as it was being workshopped in San Francisco I couldn’t unsee it,” he continued.
