Variety lists Susannah Grant as being in charge of the film’s script. Grant is best known as the screenwriter of Erin Brockovich, for which she received an Oscar nomination. She’s also responsible for the screenplays of The Soloist, In Her Shoes, 28 Days, and Catch and Release (which she also directed), as well as co-writing kid’s films such as Pocahontas, Ever After and the live action Charlotte’s Web.
Producing the film is Craig Zadan, Neil Meron and John Stamos (yes, the John Stamos), two of whom (the two that aren’t John Stamos) were producers on two of the highest grossing movie musicals of all-time: Chicago and Hairspray. Of course, both of those films were adapted from Broadway plays, and since Variety made no mention of Good Vibrations, the 2005 Broadway musical featuring songs by The Beach Boys, we have to assume that this won’t be the case here.
