The original film also starred Amanda Seyfried, Stellan Skarsgård, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski and Dominic Cooper although it is unclear yet as to whether they could also be involved.
Casey Nicholaw, current director of The Book of Mormon is rumoured to be directing. There is also speculation that Nicholaw will direct Dreamgirls which supposedly opens in London in 2016.
