Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is an upcoming American musical comedy-drama film directed by Jon M. Chu from a screenplay by Dana Fox and Daniel Goldfarb. It is a feature film adaptation of the 1972 Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the same name, which in turn is based on the character of Joseph from the Bible's Book of Genesis. It is also the second screen adaptation of the musical, following the 1999 direct-to-video film.
Production
[edit]Development
[edit]In February 2014, Elton John and Rocket Pictures were set to produce an animated adaptation of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, with Andrew Lloyd Weber, Tim Rice and John to executive produce, and STXfilms distributing, but it never came to fruition.[1][2]
In April 2023, it was revealed that Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group had wanted to adapt the musical into a big-budget narrative feature film, and that Amazon MGM Studios had acquired the film rights with Scott Sanders and Mara Jacobs set to produce. Jon M. Chu, for which this film is considered his passion project, will direct and co-produce the film with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Lance Johnson and Benjamin Lowy set to serve as executive producers.[3] Dana Fox and Daniel Goldfarb will pen the screenplay, with the former reuniting with Chu following her work on co-writing the screenplay for the two-part film adaptation of Wicked. On December 31, 2024, it was revealed that Lloyd Webber and Rice will contribute new songs for the film.[4][5]
