Wicked: For Good

Editor, Myron Kerstein ACE

WICKED: FOR GOOD editor, Myron Kerstein ACE finds himself in familiar post-production territory after taking a short break to enjoy the success of the first film in this two-part adaption of the musical megahit.  This brief respit included Myron receiving an Oscar® nomination and an ACE Eddie win for his efforts.  But this time out, Myron faces the challenge of closing out this story with a movie that is darker in tone with a more complex narrative.

Adapted from the venerable Broadway smash, WICKED: FOR GOOD follows the journey of a young woman named Elphaba. Misunderstood and often outcast because of her green skin, Elphaba forges an unlikely but profound friendship with Glinda, a fellow student with an unflinching desire for popularity. Following an encounter with the Wizard of Oz, their relationship soon reaches a crossroad as their lives begin to take very different paths.
