I imagine Hollywood would think they are too old but I would love to see Idina and Kristin in the movie. I've heard Amy Adams and Reese Witherspoon's names being thrown about for Glinda, but no one for Elphaba.
Calley is too soft. Elphaba needs to be a lot more angular... or at least, that's my opinion. Though she does have an AMAZING voice.
I've heard the Amy Adams rumour about G(a)linda too, and I can totally see it, but I wonder if it's just type casting because she's already worn the poofy dress. I can't see Kristin Chenoweth doing at all... for the screen she's just too old for the role. Maybe she could play Glinda in Son of Witch at this point, but not young Glinda.
As for Elphaba, my personal favourite was Eden Espinosa (did you see her when you saw it in LA? Or Shoshanna Bean who is probably my second favourite?) but even she might be getting too old. And neither the Glinda or the Elphaba should be from Hollywood -- Amanda Bynes was the worst thing to happen to Hairspray. So... really, I'm at a loss. Yep. That's all I got.
Or, maybe Laura Bell Bundy for Glinda and Keri Butler for Elphaba. They were on stage together in Hairspray and LBB was a Glinda understudy for a while...
But nothing has been offically announce about production anyway, right? They're going to wait until the popularity dies down and use the movie to jump start it again. Right? I'm not missing something?

I have no idea who Cally O'Malley is. Should I?

WHAT? WHEN? WHERE?
Either way, they should totally stick with Indina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth. Totally.
