“I want people to see ‘Wicked’ and experience it in a way they’ve never experienced it before,” says director Jon M. Chu. “I want them to feel what I felt going into that theater for the first time. I want to make them laugh, to make them sing, to make them feel that after they’ve watched it they’ve been changed for good.”

“Wicked” is the untold story of the witches of Oz. The movie adaptation stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart. The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. 

Critics rave about Dev Patel’s intense and thrilling action movie “Monkey Man,” now showing in cinemas

Dev Patel stars in “Monkey Man,” which he also wrote and directed.

“Monkey Man,” Oscar® nominated actor (“Lion,” ”Slumdog Millionaire”) Dev Patel’s directorial debut, has a raw and intense power that is best experienced on the big screen. 

Says cinematographer Sharone Meir of the film and director Patel: “I’m proud of how cohesive and unified the feel and the look of the movie is. I’m proud of how we managed to let the audience not only see, but almost smell, the gritty, dirty, sweaty, nature of the environment it takes place in – versus the plush and glamorous world of the rich. I’m proud of how energetic, kinetic and raw it is…moviemaking with big kahunas! It takes a great director, with a true vision, to achieve that.”

Adds Patel of his passion project, “It’s chaos. It’s beautiful. It brews and it boils, and then explodes with the most insane action.”
