Nick Blaemire’s A Little More Alive, in which two estranged brothers reunite at their mother's funeral, is heading to the silver screen, according to Deadline.
Ross Katz—producer of such films as Taking Chance and Lost in Translation—will direct a screen adaptation of the musical, which has been seen at Kansas City Repertory Theatre and Barrington Stage Company. Blaemire, who wrote the score and libretto for the musical, will also pen the screenplay.
Blaemire recently starred Off-Broadway in the Keen Company revival of Tick, Tick..BOOM!
Casting for the movie musical, which will be produced by Tony winner Hunter Arnold (Kinky Boots, Dear Evan Hansen), is currently underway with filming scheduled to begin in the summer.
