    After several years in development hell, it looks like Universal Pictures feature film presentation of the HUGE Broadway musical hit “Wicked” will finally defy gravity.

    The highly popular tale of the ‘real story’ behind the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda from “The Wizard of Oz” first bowed in 2003, and immediately took hold with audiences around the world.

    As announced this morning, “Crazy Rich Asians” director Jon M. Chu has just stepped up, and will be sitting in the hot seat for Universal’s long-awaited movie version.

    He’s a wonderful choice for the project, and we can’t wait to see how casting shapes up.

    We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other projects.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
