Wicked fans all make one prediction as 'emotional' For Good trailer released
The first trailer for the highly anticipated movie Wicked: For Good has been released and fans are all saying the same thing about it as they anticipate its upcoming release in November The first trailer for Wicked: For Good, the sequel to the hit musical starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, has been released, and fans are all thinking the same thing. Taking place in Oz before the movie the Wizard of Oz, the Wicked movies are an adaptation of the 2003 stage musical Wicked, with each movie depicting one act from the stage show. The Broadway musical itself was inspired by Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel reimagining the iconic characters from The Wizard of Oz. Wicked: Part One was released on November 22 of last year, while the second part – later renamed Wicked: For Good – will hit cinemas later in 2025, a year after its predecessor. Wicked's first instalment became an immediate box office success as it told the story of unlikely friends Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good from The Wizard of Oz as they discover that the Wizard is, in fact, a fraud. Elphaba is then declared the new enemy of Oz just before the end of the first film. The second movie will focus on the lead-up to The Wizard of Oz, including how Elphaba becomes known as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda becomes the Good Witch. A newly-released trailer for the film has teased new songs that didn't feature in the original musical as well as the arrival of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, but the actor playing this role has yet to be announced, Taking to X, several people shared their thoughts after having watched the highly anticipated trailer which had left many emotional. "CRYING ALREADY," one person said. A second user wrote: "I am emotionally unavailable after watching this." Several people also had the same thoughts as many believed that the movie has a good chance of picking up several awards that they claim the the first film was 'snubbed' for, having missed out on the award for Best Picture at the 2025 Academy Awards. "Yea.... they're getting that Oscar. I'm BOOHOO crying off of this damn trailer," one viewer wrote, while a second person said: "And the Oscars go to..." "I swear if award shows don't just give everything to this movie. I'm gonna snap," wrote a third user while a fourth person said: "Wicked For Good will sweep all the awards next year that should have happened for Part 1" Some viewers were also quick to predict that it would become the 'biggest movie of the year' for 2025. "Movie of the year already" one person predicted, as another person said: "Biggest movie of the year." Wicked: For Good is due to be released in cinemas in the UK on 21 November.

Tell Me The Most Horrifying Moment In A Non-Horror Movie
I have written countless horror movie posts for BuzzFeed, but there are still plenty of scares outside the genre. A non-horror movie may have a perfectly timed jumpscare or something incredibly unsettling that leaves you hiding under your covers. Please tell me the most horrifying moment in a non-horror movie that either made you leap out of your skin or gave you nightmares (or both). For example, the most famous case is the boat scene from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The scary imagery and mood switch terrified kids. Or, your scene may have been an unexpected jumpscare, like when the Wicked Witch of the West appeared in that crystal ball in The Wizard of Oz. Perhaps something more disturbing, like the sacrifice scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which left you wondering how they got away with something so visually gruesome.
