According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harvey Weinstein has acquired the rights for a film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical In The Heights.
Producer Scott Sanders is said to also be on board for the long-rumoured project.
Universal previous had the rights for the movie; Kenny Ortega was rumoured to be directing the movie with a screenplay by Marc Klein and a budget of $37 million.
Following Universal’s departure, Miranda said he was aiming for a “scrappy,” scaled-back production “keeping in spirit with the show.” A new director is yet to be announced.
