Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the writing team behind the original Broadway musical as well as La La Land and The Greatest Showman sold the rights to the project to Universal Pictures.

Stephen Chbosky (Wonder) is currently in negotiations to direct, no word on possible casting yet.

Fans of the musical can head to Los Angeles in January of 2019 for the opportunity to see Pasek and Paul will sit down with ASCAP Director of Musical Theatre Michael Kerker for a conversation that will also feature guest stars performing selections from their work.

Bleeding Cool News Editor Mary Anne Butler (Mab, for short) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), and most recently Bleeding Cool. 

Over the past 10 years, she’s built a presence at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). 

 Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. 

 Though she be but little, she is fierce. #MabTheProfessional
