Think it will ever happen? I really hope it does.

The movie isn't even 10 years old.

I feel like Elton John said in an interview that this was something they were planning on doing in the future.

Movie blew me away and always knew with the correct creatives this would go on and make a great musical.

In the musical with the dad looking stunned when Billy come on stage to Swan Lake, you just cannot re-create that on stage.

Swan Lake, Electricity and Angry Dance that just cannot be done on film, both are great.

Someone (I thought it was Stephan Daldry, but it could have been Elton John) said a movie musical is a big possibility.

Please, let's wait a bit longer. We don't need the Billy Elliot movie going the way of the Producers movie.

Agreed!

Producers and Hairspray was awful in 35mm.
