The major studios are fighting over a hot package that’s floating about Hollywood that’s said to be of the musical variety. Josh Gad and Jeremy Garelick are the duo behind the pitch, and Oscar winners Alan Menken would be writing the music and Stephen Schwartz writing the lyrics.
Deadline says Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros’ New Line, Sony Pictures, Fox and Universal have all offered 7 figures for the movie.
Gad and Garelick, who worked together on “The Wedding Ringer”, have UTA (which reps Garelick), ICM Partners and Brillstein Entertainment Partners (which reps Gad) and Richard Kraft (who reps the composers) representing the package.
