Deadline broke the news of this upcoming film, which will feature Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Mark Salling, Dianna Agron, Naya Rivera, Heather Morris, Harry Shum, Jr., Chord Overstreet and Darren Criss. It’ll be produced by Ryan Murphy, the show’s creator. Here’s what he said to The Hollywood Reporter:
According to the tour’s official site, the stage show – and therefore the movie – is going to feature the cast singing a bunch of popular songs that were also performed on the television show.
From a business stand point, this is a great, no brainer decision by Fox. The tour is already going to be happening, so throw a few million at a 3D shoot and post production and it’s almost a guaranteed money maker. It’s been proven time and time again that audiences turn out for these 3D concert films, especially if they’re by the latest flavor of the month.
