The wikipedia page for the film mentions that the final film screenplay was the result of 8 writers and barely resembled the original draft by Gina Wendkos. So a little intriguing that she is adapting and writing the book for the musical. From her original screenplay? The one in the film that barely resembles the one she wrote?

Love everyone involved. But can we stop with every movie needs to be a musical?

Hundreds of movies are made each year.  A very very small percentage of them ever get turned into musicals or plays.

Lets see if we can get that percentage lower...just from what I know is in development - it is all movies all the time.

Diane Warren keeps missing out on the Oscar, so I guess she's gunning for the Olivier instead

Can we turn GOOD movies into musicals. Not everything works for the stage - Beaches, etc - and this doesn't strike me as too theatrical. I could understand why with the bar dancing, but the characters don't seem big enough.

It used to be plays and books... but nobody reads books or goes to plays anymore. You adapt from what's in the vernacular, and film has BEEN the vernacular for at least half a century.

You have no clue how much this means to me. A Coyote Ugly Musical really is right up my alley and there's literally multiple musical numbers in the movie.

The Coyote Ugly musical gets adapted back into a movie.

Diane Warren writes a new song or two.

She still doesn't win a Best Original Song Oscar.
