Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the team behind the Toronto-shot movie version of Hairspray, have joined actor John Stamos in getting the ball rolling on an as yet-untitled project that will use the music of the Beach Boys.
The film isn’t expected to follow in the footsteps of biopics focusing on musicians, like Ray or Walk the Line, instead it will be more in the vein of the stage-musical-turned-movie Mamma Mia! which utilized the music of ABBA to tell a fictional story.
