Wicked and In the Heights director Jon M. Chu is attached to a movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is being adapted into a brand new movie. The musical, which features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a book and lyrics by Tim Rice, originally premiered in 1972. It is a musical adaptation of a story from the Bible's Book of Genesis, about Joseph and his 11 brothers and the way a coat of many colors changes their destinies.
Per Deadline, Amazon Studios is mounting a new film adaptation of Joseph with director Jon M. Chu of 2021's In the Heights and the upcoming Wicked movie musical. He will be re-teaming with his In the Heights producer Scott Sanders for the project. Although a feature-length version of Joseph starring Donny Osmond was released in 1999, that was a recording of a staged version so this will be the first properly cinematic outing for the show.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Why Jon M. Chu is Perfect to Adapt Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat So far, not many films have been adapted from Webber's stage works, and even fewer have been well-received. While 1973's Jesus Christ Superstar, 1996's Evita, and 2004's The Phantom of the Opera have mixed fans and detractors, the most recent outing for the theater icon was 2019's Cats.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a project that inherently needs to be drenched in color and exuberant energy. While the first images from Wicked haven't been released yet, between In the Heights and Crazy Rich Asians, Chu has proven he is more than up to the task. It remains to be seen if the film will be embraced by the Webber fandom at large, but this news gives it a huge boost toward potentially meeting their expectations.
