It looks likeThis Is Spinal Tap/Stand by Me/The Princess BridedirectorRob Reiner, most recently of the wonderfulFlipped, wants to get intomusicalsnext.Playbill.com(viaThe Playlist) posted new quotes from Reiner recently, who stated very enthusiastically that he is"dying to make"a movie version of the acclaimed musicalNext to Normal."The picture that I would love to make… I've been lobbying for this since it went on Broadway. {It} just recently won a Pulitzer Prize and won a couple of Tonys, calledNext to Normal,"he said. But they don't say whether or not he actually has the rights yet, so for now it's just hopeful speculation.
Why is Reiner so interested in it?"It is a completely and utterly unique project and I've been dying to make a musical. It's donebrilliantlyand it'svery uplifting,"he said. If he's passionate about it, then go for it.Next to Normal, which opened on Broadway last year, is a rock musical by Brian Yorker and Tom Kitt that is about a suburban mother who has bipolar disorder."An emotional powerhouse of a musical with a thrilling contemporary score about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other."It won a Pulitzer Prize earlier this year and picked up 11 Tony nominations and is currently in Los Angeles and still on Broadway.
Flipped, which not many people actually saw even though it's damn good, proved that Reiner still has it, so I'm hoping he can actually get this project going, as that kind of passion will only mean great things when/if he adaptsNext to Normalfor the big screen. For now, it's Reiner just talking about what he reallywantsto do. You can also visit the show's official websitenexttonormal.comfor info and tickets in the meantime.
