Demi Moore recently revealed a fascinating tidbit from her past to Entertainment Tonight’s Denny Directo backstage at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala. The actress shared that she had attempted to produce and star in a movie adaptation of the Broadway musical “Wicked’s” source material back in the ’90s. Despite her best efforts, the project never came to fruition, but Demi believes that everything happens for a reason and that the world was now ready for Cynthia Erivo’s portrayal of the Wicked Witch.
In the interview, Demi also took the time to praise her fellow actor Colman Domingo for his performance in the film “Sing Sing,” for which he was being honored with the PSIFF’s Spotlight Award. The two actors shared a moment of mutual admiration as they discussed their respective projects and celebrated each other’s talents.
It’s always interesting to hear about the projects that almost were, and Demi Moore’s revelation about her involvement in trying to bring “Wicked” to the big screen adds another layer to her already impressive career. While we may never get to see Demi don the iconic green makeup of Elphaba, fans can still appreciate her dedication to the project and the passion she brought to the role.
In the end, Demi’s belief that everything happens at the right time rings true, as Cynthia Erivo’s portrayal of the Wicked Witch has been met with critical acclaim and has solidified her as a rising star in Hollywood. As for Demi and Colman, their friendship and admiration for each other’s work serve as a reminder of the camaraderie and respect that exists within the entertainment industry.
