I just saw a trailer for this film, and it looks so dark and bleak? Wicked should be bright, cheerful, maybe trying to get as close as technicolor as possible, the original wizard of oz looks ten times better and it's much older. Why do new movies look like that? It's not budget? how could you improve it and bring it closer to the original? Wicked director Jon M.
Chu defends the movie's muted color grading. Adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name, the 2024 musical moves the story of Elphaba (Cynthia Eviro), the Wicked Witch of the West, to the big screen. While the movie has received rave reviews from audiences and critics, one aspect has attracted controversy.
Jon M Chu, the director of Wicked, has hit out at criticism about the film's colour grading after audiences attacked it for looking "washed out". The musical follows Ariana Grande as Glinda. With just a few small adjustments I gave Wicked more contrast and a new color grade that made it pop a lot more than it did in cinemas.
Demonstrating this, I also try to get to the bottom of WHY. whoever did the color grading for wicked deserves a war crime tribunal. it's the most washed out ugly backlit mess - michael (@inluvin3days) November 27, 2024.

I was a little bored and love color grading so I took it upon myself to edit some stills to show I would have styled The Good Witch. I'm not super familiar with Wicked but when I saw the teaser I couldn't help but to think how dull and lacking in contrast/ interest it was. Wicked's color grading has gotten some criticism online, but director Jon M.
