The boom is set to go off… at Netflix.

A hard-fought Battle was raged between bidding companies which hoped to showcase Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new film.

Tick, Tick… Boom! is based on Jonathan Larson’s somewhat autobiographical musical of the same name. It follows an aspiring composer during 1990’s New York City who worries he has made the wrong career choice to be part of the performing arts.

Miranda, whose own background focuses heavily on musicals, will be helming the film which marks his directorial debut.

Sources say that Andrew Garfield is the top choice to play the lead character of Jon which is based on the Rent creator. The Silence star recently won a Tony Award for his role in Angels in America.

No word yet on when that bomb plans to go off on Netflix.
