The hit Broadway musical
In the Heights is going to be making the jump from stage to screen and Universal has named Kenny Ortega as the director for the project. His previous films include the
High School Musical movies and
Michael Jackson's This Is It. Does hearing that the
High School Musical director is behind the wheel of
In the Heights: the Movie turn your stomach a little bit? Yeah. Hopefully it will be OK though, the show's creator and star, Lin-Manuel Miranda is producing and starring in the film. Quiara Alegria Hudes who wrote the book for the musical is also working on the screen play. With the right people and the right material, maybe the HSM director can give us a book musical worth seeing...
