      <title>Director Lin-Manuel Miranda will make musical ‘Octet’ into movie</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330456343/director-lin-manuel-miranda-will-make-musical-octet-into-movie</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lin-Manuel Miranda, director of the 11‑time Tony Award–winning musical “Hamilton,” will direct a musical ​film adaptation of Dave Malloy’s chamber choir musical “Octet” ‌as his next feature project, 5000 Broadway Productions announced Thursday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I haven’t stopped thinking about ‘Octet’ since I saw Annie Tippe’s premiere production in ​November 2019,” Miranda said in a press release. “Dave ​Malloy’s score is versatile, brilliant, and grows more ⁠relevant with each passing year. It won’t leave me ​alone—so here we are.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Miranda will reunite with producer Julie Oh, ​who collaborated with him on the 2021 Netflix musical film “tick, tick…BOOM!,” starring Andrew Garfield. Oh is joining 5000 Broadway Productions as head ​of film and television.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Octet,” which premiered Off-Broadway in 2019, ​is an a cappella musical that examines internet addiction through an eight-person ‌support ⁠group meeting in a church basement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Miranda is one of the most decorated artists of his generation, with three Tony Awards, two Emmy Awards, five Grammy Awards, and a ​Pulitzer Prize for ​Drama.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He ⁠has also received two Academy Award nominations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beyond the stage, Miranda has written songs for ​Disney’s critically acclaimed animated films “Moana” and “Encanto,” and created “In the ​Heights” ⁠and “Hamilton,” both of which achieved global recognition for their innovative, sung-through storytelling—most notably “Hamilton’s genre-blending portrait of American statesman Alexander Hamilton.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In ⁠2020, ​the recorded stage production of “Hamilton” premiered ​on Disney+ and in 2021, a movie musical version of “In the Heights” ​debuted in theatres.&lt;/p&gt;
