The Hollywood Reporter is, well, reporting that Tony and Academy-Award nominated director Rob Marshall has been tapped to direct a big screen version for Disney that is to feature a book by Mr. Lapine and an alleged score feature a few new songs by Mr. Sondheim himself.
To me, the show seems to be an odd fit for Disney. It's a bit too cynical (but, then again, what do I know).
Let the fantasy casting begin!
