i really dont think it would go over well if idina did it. i mean shes been in the OBC and its just so expected for her to play it in the movie then it kinda just ruins it.
-ramble over- i'm relishing in cocoa-induced ecstasy right now so everything I'm sprouting might be complete crap. Feel free and verbose, dear children.

Lauren Ambrose would be a good Elphaba, if a bit young. And I dont' knwo if she sings or not.

I do not want the OBC, I want a fresh cast album with new orchestrations and a new cast!

I think it would be a good idea to have all new actors! I say, let those who haven't had a chance to prove their worth, try! It would be pretty hectic, though, if they held a cattle call.

Aside from anything else, the majority of the people seeing the film aren't going to care if a certain character is played by whoever played them first. They might notice, however, if someone who is supposed to be 17 looks like they're 30.

^ completely true! But they'll probably cast slightly older people for the 2 leads as they can age people down a fair bit, but they shouldn't really go above 35 for a movie... Hope they cast teens for Nessarose worldwide!! *prays*

Maybe they'll have a younger set and older set of cast?
They might change the plot so that only a few months passes between "Act 1" and "Act 2", or have 20 years or so between them...
You never know.

I see where you're going with this.
Maybe, they will cast people from Britain...

Sadly, not even English Elphabas can claim that skill. Kerry seems to think that she is defying "graverdee".

There was a post on the IMDb boards suggesting Justin Timberlake for Fiyero... 
They suggested Richard Gere for the Wizard, though, which would be cool, but Christopher Walken would be amazing.
