Wicked director defends the movie's BIGGEST flaw amid fan outrage Have YOU got a story? Email tips@dailymail.com By TERRY ZELLER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:58 GMT, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 23:01 GMT, 25 November 2024 e-mail View comments The new Wicked movie has dazzled critics and dominated the box office , but its director still felt the need to defend one of the film’s most debated aspects: the color grading. Some moviegoers have taken issue with the film’s more muted tones, especially when compared to the vibrant Technicolor magic of the original 1939 The Wizard of Oz. Jon M. Chu, who helmed the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway smash starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande , addressed these critiques head-on after the film was called ‘a little desaturated’ during an interview with The Globe and Mail . 'I mean, there’s color all over it,' Chu said. 'What we wanted to do was immerse people into Oz, to make it a real place. Because if it was a fake place, if it was a dream in someone’s mind, then the real relationships and stakes that these two girls are going through wouldn’t feel real.' Chu went on to explain that his goal was to present Oz in a fresh way, one that audiences hadn’t seen before. 'It’s been a matte painting. It’s been a video game digital world,' he noted. 'But for us, I want to feel the dirt. I want to feel the wear and tear of it. And that means it’s not plastic.' Jon M. Chu, who helmed the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway smash starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande , addressed critiques head-on after the film was called ‘a little desaturated’ during an interview with The Globe and Mail 'I mean, there’s color all over it,' Chu said. 'What we wanted to do was immerse people into Oz, to make it a real place. Because if it was a fake place, if it was a dream in someone’s mind, then the real relationships and stakes that these two girls are going through wouldn’t feel real' The film’s color grading, Chu explained, mirrors the deep connection between the characters and the land they inhabit. The vast landscapes, natural light, and creatures of Oz are central to the story, particularly how Elphaba’s presence gradually shapes the world, with the color contrast intensifying as her influence grows.

'Counterpoint: movies are dreams and can look as bold and crazy as dreams do. Why not? Who is demanding this realism?' one fan retorted. Another added, 'The real world isn’t desaturated.' And one user didn’t mince words, bluntly stating, 'The film is lit like an insurance commercial.' The color scheme has been a hot topic on social media ever since the first-look images were released in April. And when asked about criticism that those early images were too dark, Chu had an explanation. However, Chu’s explanations didn’t exactly win over all fans, with some taking issue with his emphasis on realism The color scheme has been a hot topic on social media ever since the first-look images were released in April 'I chose those images specifically,' he admitted at the time in an interview with Variety . 'It was so early, and we had just started shooting. I wanted images that were evocative and provocative to show it’s not some bright, poppy story.' 'We didn’t even have the effects done. The background was blue. I had to have VFX put in the sky. I was coloring it on my iPhone,' he added, clearly unbothered by the early criticism. The defense comes as Chu also offered one piece of advice for those going to see the film - as some viewers have been complaining about sound issues. He encouraged fans to take their audio experience into their own hands in a social media post on November 23 ahead of the film's opening weekend. Posting on X he penned: 'Tell your movie theater to turn it up to a 7... 'I've gone to a couple screenings and they are more like a 6.4. If you want it the way it was intended 7 is the way.' His comment refers to sound levels for the Dolby audio systems used in some cinemas. The news comes after it was reported that British filmmaker Stephen Daldry was originally set to direct the spectacle and had big plans to cast Lady Gaga as Elphaba and Shawn Mendes as Fiyero Dolby then responded to Chu's post, writing underneath: 'We've got you covered.' The news comes after it was reported that British filmmaker Stephen Daldry was originally set to direct the spectacle and had big plans to cast Lady Gaga as Elphaba and Shawn Mendes as Fiyero, according to a source who spoke to Page Six on Tuesday. The Born This Way singer even met with the production team multiple times to discuss her take on the character. 'They had meetings, the two of them, about the character and who she would be. [Gaga] was essentially cast in his version, and then it fell through,' the insider revealed. But Daldry’s vision never came to be—he left the project in 2020 due to scheduling conflicts. Enter Chu, who took over as director and reimagined the cast, ultimately bringing Erivo on as Elphaba, Grande as Glinda the Good Witch, and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero.

The Arizona Cardinals were rested, relatively healthy and had been playing some of their best football in years. That’s why Sunday’s was so surprising. “Frustrating day offensively, especially the way we’ve been playing to come out here and lay an egg and get physically dominated in a sense,” quarterback Kyler Murray said. The Cardinals (6-5) had their four-game winning streak snapped. Murray completed 24 of 37 passes for 285 yards, but made a brutal mistake, throwing an interception that was returned 69 yards by Seattle’s Coby Bryant. The running game never got going, gaining just 49 yards. James Conner, the team’s leading rusher, had just 8 yards on seven attempts. “There were a lot of things where it felt like the flow of things just wasn’t in our favor,” receiver Michael Wilson said. “Some games go like that. And then we didn’t execute enough to make up for the game sort of not going our way.” Arizona’s still in decent playoff position, tied with the Seahawks on top of the NFC West with six games to play. But after all the good news and winning over the past month, Sunday’s loss was humbling. “We’re going to learn a lot from this game,” Gannon said. What’s working Arizona’s defense continued its remarkable midseason turnaround, giving the team every opportunity to win Sunday. The front seven doesn’t have any stars, but continues to cobble together a respectable pass rush. The Cardinals finished with five sacks, all by different players. Second-year cornerback Garrett Williams intercepted a pass by Geno Smith on the first play of the fourth quarter, briefly giving the Cardinals some momentum as they tried to fight back. Williams — a third-round pick out of Syracuse in 2023 — is growing into a steady starting corner that the Cardinals have missed for years. “I thought that they hung in there and battled, forced a bunch of punts, kept points off the board,” Gannon said. “I thought the interception by Garrett was fantastic, kept us in the game there, kept points off the board. We made some mistakes. We made some mistakes, starting with me.” What needs help The Cardinals aren’t going to win many games with a rushing performance like Sunday’s. Conner, held to a season low in yards rushing, did have 41 yards receiving. Rookie Trey Benson had four carries for 18 yards, while Emari Demercado broke a 14-yard gain. Getting Conner going is key. Arizona has a 5-1 record this season when he has at least 100 total yards from scrimmage. Gannon said falling into an early hole affected some of the things the Cardinals could do, particularly in the second half. “I thought there was plays there, but again, where you get down in that game, you’re not really playing normal ball there for a good chunk of the game,” Gannon said. “So we’ve got to do a better job earlier in the game to make sure we’re not playing left-handed.” Stock up Fourth-year edge rusher Zaven Collins isn’t necessarily the star fans hoped for when he was selected with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2021 draft, but he has quietly had a productive season leading the team’s no-name front seven. Collins picked up his fourth sack of the season Sunday and put consistent pressure on Smith. Stock down Murray’s still having a great season, but the quarterback’s MVP credentials took a hit with Sunday’s mediocre performance. He played pretty well at times, but the interception that turned into a pick-6 was a backbreaker. The sixth-year quarterback had largely avoided those types of plays this season, which is a big reason they’re in the playoff hunt. “Can’t give them seven points, especially when our defense is playing the way that they’re playing,” Murray said. “I feel like if I don’t do that, we’re in the game four quarters because that’s the way it was trending.” Injuries The Cardinals came out of Sunday’s game fairly healthy. Gannon said starting safety Jalen Thompson (ankle) should be back at practice Wednesday. He missed the last two games. Key numbers 12 and 133 — Tight end Trey McBride continued his breakout season with a career-high 12 catches for 133 yards. Next steps The Cardinals have another difficult road game against the Vikings (9-2) on Sunday. ___ AP NFL:

Krewe of Erin recognizes winners of Wild Game CookoffBy Elizabeth Ayoola, NerdWallet The investing information provided on this page is for educational purposes only. NerdWallet, Inc. does not offer advisory or brokerage services, nor does it recommend or advise investors to buy or sell particular stocks, securities or other investments. Kids are often pretty good at being consumers. If you’re a parent with a small business, you have the opportunity to show your kids firsthand what it means to be a producer. Small Business Saturday, which takes place on Nov. 30 this year, may be a great time to do just that. Small Business Saturday was established by American Express in 2010 and encourages consumers to patronize their local stores as a way to keep dollars circulating within their community. Here are three reasons you should consider getting your kids involved in Small Business Saturday, according to two mompreneurs. Ronne Brown is the owner of HERLISTIC, a plant-derived beauty and feminine care brand in Washington, D.C. She’s been participating in Small Business Saturday since she established her business in 2020. The entrepreneur gets her kids (ages 24, 18 and 12), plus her bonus daughter, 10, to help out on Small Business Saturday and beyond. Brown’s kids help with customer service, shipping and fulfillment tasks. That could include counting inventory, quality control or packaging boxes. Other times, help looks like Brown’s 12-year-old daughter keeping her up-to-date with TikTok trends and influencers in the beauty field. “I just want them to understand the price and the value of a dollar and what it actually costs to make it,” Brown says. The mompreneur also hopes her kids learn the benefits of commitment and hard work. “What I want to show them is that you have to work hard every day. And there are gonna be moments where you’re gonna be tired, you’re gonna be exhausted, and you’re not gonna want to do things, and you’re going to have to push through,” she says. Hiring your kids to do legitimate work during Small Business Saturday provides a chance for them to learn pillars needed for a strong financial foundation: earning money , saving money and investing. That said, before hiring kids, it’s critical to understand the child labor laws for your state in addition to the IRS’ rules around hiring kids. Brown says she pays all of her children, including her 24-year-old son who is on payroll. Additionally, she teaches them about investing in the stock market. “I want them to understand the importance of making money, but also investing the money that they’re making,” she says. “Because when I pay them, I always ask them, ‘so what are you gonna do to double this money?’” If you hire your minor kids, they could get a headstart on investing by putting some of their income into a custodial Roth IRA , which requires earned income to open. You could also open them a custodial brokerage account. Another perk of your kids earning income by working for you is that they may be exempt from paying federal income taxes if they earn less than the standard deduction . In 2024, that threshold is $14,600. Having your kids add helping hands, whether it be doing administrative tasks or helping customers, can ensure you keep up with a potential increase in sales. A 2024 NerdWallet holiday spending report found that 16% of 2024 holiday shoppers plan to shop on Small Business Saturday this year. Lisset Tresvant, owner of Glow Esthetics Spa in Hollywood, Florida, has been participating in Small Business Saturday since the genesis of her business in 2019. “I do tend to sell more because people are usually more inclined to purchase because of the sales, and it gives them a reason to support us,” she says. To help with the demand, Tresvant’s daughter, 12, and son, 9, fill her skincare products, add labels and help prep items for shipping. Tresvant says she decided to let her kids get involved in her business so they have a better understanding of what she does. Looking beyond Small Business Saturday, hiring your child can also help with succession planning , which is about planning for your departure from your business. Tresvant hopes to pass hers down to her kids one day. “They understand that I’m building this legacy just for not myself, but for them as well,” says Tresvant.
