Walt Disney Studios is now developing an original movie that will be based on one of the most legendary singers Lionel Richie's song catalog, according to Variety.
Tentatively titled “All Night Long,” the new project will use some of Richie’s greatest hits in a live-action project in early stages of development with a theatrical release in mind, sources said.
Richie and his manager Bruce Eskowitz are producing the project with Cavalry Media executives Dana Brunetti and Matt Del Piano. Screenwriter Pete Chiarelli (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “The Proposal”) is currently at work on the script, added the insiders.
Representatives for Disney and Richie had no immediate comment on the matter.
Richie, a company man thanks to his judge role on Disney-owned ABC’s “American Idol,” sold the pitch to the studio in January. The singer is represented by CAA and Red Light Management.
