Las Vegas – When Ariana Grande,Cynthia Erivo and director Men works He took the stage in Las Vegas last April To cause “evil” months before its theatrical launch, there was a cautious optimism that the long -awaited film would be a success.
But when the couple reached the same stage in the annual Cinemacon Convention Wednesday to promote “Wicked: For Good”, he felt like a kind of Victoria Tour after the first film critical acclamation and box office success.
“This is the third year in which ‘Wicked’ has closed the film presentation of Universal,” Chu said. “Thank God that worked.”
“Wicked: For Good” arrives at theaters in November and completes the adaptation of the long -term Broadway musical inspired by “The Wizard of Oz”. It stars Erivo as the Elphaba Thropp, with green skin, which became the evil witch of the west, and great as Galinda, the future good witch of the South.
“We already have our full fabrics,” he joked great, referring to the sentimental press of the couple that often resulted in one or both stars in tears.
“I promise less water works this time,” Erivo added, before they debuted a brief assembly of images of the film.
The “Malvada” crew closed an impressive, and rightly theatrical presentation, from the next Pictures board.
The Oscar season of Hollywood provides an annual opportunity for actors and filmmakers to exchange congratulations for their art. After each year the Convention and the Fair of the Cinemacon Convention arrive, where studies and cinemas turn to give talks and palmaditas on the back.
Universal showed that any PEP talk improves with music, particularly sphematic or nostalgic songs of old and new movies, such as “Psycho”, “Jurassic Park” and, of course, “Wicked”. The study took advantage of these and other family issues with a live orchestra, since it launched its films file on the main stage of Caesars Palace.
They took out the stops for “Jurassic World: Rebirth”, one of the other largest films in Universal of the year in the theaters in July, with the help of their stars, Mahershala Ali and Scarlett Johansson, along with director Gareth Edwards, who came out when the orchestra performed its iconic theme.
“It has been a life of a lifetime to be in a ‘Jurassic’ movie. For the last 15 years, every time I heard they were making a movie, I communicated and say: ‘I am available,” said Johansson.
The presentation followed a prior view of “how to train his dragon”, an adaptation of live action of the animated franchise, earlier in the day. The film, starring Gerard Butler and Mason Thames, will premiere in June.
The orchestra was directed by the winning composer of Emmy Rickey Minor, the former band leader in “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”.
But acrobatics did not stop in live music. When making fun of his innumerable horror films on the horizon, producer Jason Blum was dressed as Freddy Fazbear antagonist to cause “Five Night At Freddy’s 2”, which will be launched theatrical in December.
To overcome Blumhouse Productions, 30 actors dressed as M3Gan, the artificially intelligent theme and sometimes hyper-violent of the film of the same name, danced to an interpretation of “Oh! … I did it again.” “M3Gan 2.0” arrives at theaters in June.
