Actor Jared Gilman mocks the lack of lighting in the Wicked movie's first-look images by 'remastering' The Wizard of Oz's entrance sequence.
Wicked's first-look images get mocked in a "2023 Remaster" of 1939's The Wizard of Oz. Recently, Wicked director Jon M. Chu released the first-look images of stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda Upland and Elphaba Thropp, respectively, and was immediately criticized on social media. Users complained about their lack of lighting, in which they could barely see Grande and Erivo's appearance as the rest of the frame was shrouded in darkness.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Brutally mocking its first-look images, actor Jared Gilman posted a "2023 Remaster" of The Wizard of Oz on Twitter. Check out what it looks like below: "Remastering" the scene in which Dorothy opens the door to the land of Oz for the first time, which signified the passage from black and white to Technicolor, the entire movie becomes dark as soon as Dorothy opens the door.
With a preference for digital filming as opposed to film cameras, many high-profile titles have been plagued with poor lighting, which has recently been receiving widespread scrutiny. The criticisms have only grown louder with each passing title, in which audience members routinely complain that they cannot see the action because of its poor lighting.
While the first-look images of Wicked's main characters are only first look and may only be shrouded in darkness for a later reveal, audiences' criticisms have only grown towards poorly-lit blockbusters. Others like Jordan Peele's NOPE and Matt Reeves' The Batman achieved shooting movies with night sequences, where the scenes are bright enough for the audience to actively see what's on the screen and engage with the material.
