The film will be written and directed by Conor McPherson, who wrote the book for the Broadway musical, and produced by Blueprint Pictures’ Graham Broadbent and Pete Czernin.The well-reviewed musical, which had a brief, COVID-affected Broadway run after performing in London beginning in 2017 (as well as a stint in Toronto in 2019), is set in Duluth, Minnesota during the Great Depression where, according to the official synopsis, “a group of wayward travelers’ lives intersect in a guesthouse filled with music, life and hope.” The synopsis continues: “Things are spiraling out of control for proprietor Nick Laine (Harrelson).
