Hustlers filmmaker Lorene Scafaria says she’s currently attempting to adapt her film for the stage. Scafaria revealed the news to Variety on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night. “We’re just starting,” the 41-year-old director told the outlet. “I said it to them a few months ago that I thought it would be a good idea, that’s all. Who knows. I’m trying to develop it for the stage!”

The film followed a tight-knit clan of strip club employees — Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Cardi B, Lizzo, Keke Palmer, and Lili Reinhart, who scam money from their rich Wall Street clients amid the 2008 financial crisis. 

Back in December Lopez told Extra that a Broadway adaptation would “be amazing.”

“It really lends itself to a Broadway show, and to a live-performance show,” she told Extra. “I don’t know that I would do it. I would produce it, for sure. I don’t know. Maybe. You never know with me.”

The film is inspired by Jessica Pressler’s New York magazine article titled The Hustlers at Scores. It’s a modern-day Robin Hood tale about a group of women who band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients. Lopez will play the ringleader of the group and also serve as the executive producer.

Annapurna Pictures is in charge of developing the upcoming project, directed by Lorene Scafaria. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World helmer described it as an empathetic look at women and men. It’s exploration of gender roles, “what we’re valued for, what we’ve been told is our value in every movie, TV show, every corner of culture”, according to Scafaria.

“The rules of the club are the rules of the world. There is no other actor who could embody this raw and dynamic character with such complexity, humanity, and intelligence. It’s always been her. She’s f***ing Jennifer Lopez.” said the director.
