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.

The musical is based on the Broadway hit of the same name for which Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the music and lyrics.

The story is set over three extremely hot days in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City and follows the owner of a small bodega called Usnavi de la Vega.

While the Hamilton star portrayed Usnavi in the Broadway production that won 4 Tony Awards, Anthony Ramos will be filling the role in the film version.

That said, Miranda will still be on screen.

The 39-year-old will be playing Piragüero, the Piragua Guy, who owns a small stand selling the Puerto Rican dessert that Mister Softee is trying to shut down.

“One last bit of casting. [Rolls piragua cart on set…]” he wrote in a tweet.

The rest of the cast will include Marc Anthony, Corey Hawkins, Gregory Diaz IV, Melissa, Leslie Grace, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Dascha Polanco, and Jimmy Smits.

In the Heights is out June 26th, 2020.

First, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced in August that it would be introducing a new category — Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film.

Thankfully, the awful idea, which was criticised by many in Hollywood for cheapening the awards, as well as discrediting the films which would have been nominated, was put on the shelf.

Then came the controversy around the ceremony’s host… For the first time in 30 years, the Oscars will not have a single host to guide us through proceedings following Kevin Hart’s resignation amidst the emergence of his previous homophobic remarks.

Now, The Academy has announced yet another change to its traditional ceremony.

The 91st Academy Awards will not include performances by all 5 nominees for Best Original Song.

Instead, only “All the Stars” by Kendrick Lamar and SZA from Black Panther and A Star Is Born’s “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper will be performed on the live broadcast.

Mary Poppins Returns star Lin-Manuel Miranda — who would have performed the nominated song “The Place Where Lost Things Go” — has called the decision “disappointing”.
