The magic of Oz is coming to life! Universal Pictures unveils an exciting behind-the-scenes look at Wicked, the cinematic adaptation of the beloved stage musical, giving fans a peek into the journey of bringing this spellbinding story to the big screen. Set to premiere in Philippine cinemas on November 20, Wicked promises a breathtaking, immersive experience unlike any other.
“Oz is a Place of Endless Possibilities,” Says Jon M. Chu
Renowned director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights) invites audiences to experience the magic of Oz in a whole new way. “Oz represents a place of magic, so to be able to invite an audience into this beautiful world is exciting,” Chu shares. This adaptation is the first installment of a two-part cinematic experience, with Wicked Part Two scheduled for release in 2025.
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande Bring Iconic Roles to Life
Cynthia Erivo, an Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning actress, takes on the role of Elphaba, the misunderstood witch with a powerful destiny. For Erivo, feels that Oz is the land of endless possibilities. “The things you think are impossible, the things you are dreaming about, aren’t impossible at all,” she says. This theme of inner potential and self-discovery lies at the heart of Wicked.
Alongside Erivo is global music sensation Ariana Grande as Glinda, who also seeks to uncover her own inner magic. Grande explains, “Glinda, just like Elphaba, just wants to find her magic,” she says. Erivo also talks about the power within Elphaba. “It isn’t about relying on someone else, it really is about harnessing the power she has, and figuring out how to use that to do good the way she needs to,” she says. The evolving relationship between these two powerful yet conflicted characters brings a fresh depth to the story, exploring how each discovers their unique purpose in a complex world.
A Spellbinding Ensemble Cast
The film’s cast includes Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jonathan Bailey as the dashing Fiyero, and Ethan Slater as the kind-hearted Boq. Jeff Goldblum takes on the legendary role of the Wizard, bringing his signature flair to this pivotal character. New faces and familiar favorites populate this vibrant world, including Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, Keala Settle, and Peter Dinklage, all adding their unique touches to Oz.
The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz
Adapted from Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel and the iconic stage production by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, Wicked tells the story of Elphaba and Glinda before Dorothy arrived. Audiences will discover the untold history of these two women who come to terms with power, purpose, and friendship in a world where “nothing is just one dimension,” as Erivo puts it.
This highly anticipated adaptation is produced by industry giants Marc Platt (La La Land, The Little Mermaid) and David Stone (Next to Normal), with original creators Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman on board to bring the story to life on screen.

From Hollywood’s celebrated Fil-Am stunt coordinator Jonathan Eusebio—known for his groundbreaking work on Black Panther, the John Wick franchise, The Matrix Resurrections, and more—comes a pulse-pounding debut as he steps into the director’s chair with Love Hurts, a gritty tale of love and retribution. The film, starring Ke Huy Quan in his first major lead role alongside Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose, is already sparking buzz as the official trailer just dropped. The film arrives in Philippine cinemas in February 2025.
An Unforgettable Story of Wrath, Reckoning, and Unfinished Business
From the powerhouse producers of 87North—the team behind action hits like Nobody, Atomic Blonde, Bullet Train, Violent Night, and The Fall Guy—Love Hurts follows Marvin Gable (Ke Huy Quan), a seemingly average realtor in Milwaukee with a hidden, violent past. But when a blood-red envelope appears from his ex-partner-in-crime Rose (Ariana DeBose), his past threatens to erupt, plunging him back into a dark, unforgiving world of ruthless hitmen and heart-stopping action sequences.
Love Hurts paints Marvin’s life as a spiral of revelations and revenges that draws in his estranged brother Knuckles (Daniel Wu), a volatile crime lord with vengeance on his mind. From open houses turned warzones to allies and enemies lurking in every corner, Marvin must confront the demons he tried to escape—and the sins he left unburied.
A Cast That Packs a Punch
With Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose leading the charge, the film boasts a diverse, high-energy cast, including:
In addition to his storied work behind Hollywood’s most acclaimed stunts, Jonathan Eusebio directed Love Hurts with the cinematic expertise of someone who knows action choreography from the inside out. Working alongside an award-winning creative team, including 87North producers Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, Love Hurts is written by Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard, and Luke Passmore, and produced by Guy Danella (Violent Night). Together, they promise audiences an action-packed, emotionally charged cinematic experience.
Get Ready to Feel How Much Love Hurts
Experience the thrilling chase and emotional stakes when Love Hurts lands in Philippine theaters this February 2025. Watch the trailer now, and prepare to see Ke Huy Quan in his most daring role yet.

Music has always been a recurring theme in Naoko Yamada’s works, from her directorial debut K-On! and now her latest work The Colors Within. “Music allows people to communicate without words,” Yamada tells The Japan Times. “It gives you a way to share your feelings. It crosses borders. Through sound, through music, you can share what you like.”
Embarking on this new journey with Yamada is writer Reiko Yoshida. They’ve collaborated since K-On!, and Yoshida has many more anime and live-action series and films in her belt, including the Violet Evergarden movie, and A Silent Voice.
“I give her some key words and phrases, and she weaves them into a complete story,” Yamada says. “When it comes to turning the idea into text, I leave everything to her, and when it comes to turning that text into animation, she leaves everything to me. It’s a relationship of complete trust.”
The film follows three teens, Totsuko, Kumi, and Rui, as they navigate school, being a teenager, and making decisions that conflict with either their personal beliefs, or familial tradition. Coming together to form a band challenges their everyday routine, and helps them form bonds that give them strength to find acceptance within themselves.
As for the heart of the story, Yamada wanted to go with a theme that resonates with everyone. “I wanted to depict the strength that comes from accepting things within others that you don’t have within yourself,” says Yamada. “For me, the most important thing when making a film, the core element, is love.”
Yamada also wanted to find joy and happiness in the mundane. “In shaping a narrative, some people might expect those kinds of ups and downs, but in that case, the story feels ‘constructed,’” says Yamada. “I wanted to avoid that. I wanted to carefully depict very normal things, the things that are near us every day. Rather than surface-level accidents, I wanted to dig deeper into everyday moments.”
Bring a friend and see a world of light and brilliance as “The Colors Within” is out in Philippine cinemas! Follow Encore Films PH on Facebook and @encorefilmsph on Instagram for the latest updates.
