Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway hit is getting the Weinstein treatment…

The Weinstein Company is developing a film adaptation of the 36-year-old Puerto Rican actor, composer, rapper and writer’s musical In the Heights, which won the 2008 Tony Award for best musical.

Miranda is producing the project, which had been set at Universal Pictures with Kenny Ortega attached to direct and Miranda starring before the studio put it into turnaround in 2011.

Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for the musical and starred in the show’s lead role, earning him a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical.

In the Heights is set in Washington Heights in New York City and focuses on a bodega owner who’s closing his store and retiring to the Dominican Republic after inheriting his grandmother’s fortune.

“As a kid from Queens, I’ve always loved bringing New York stories to film,” said TWC’s Harvey Weinstein. “‘In the Heights and Lin Manuel brought Washington Heights to Broadway back in 2008 and in the process turned the theater world on its head. The movie musicals of the 1950s were incredible, but In The Heights will revolutionize what movie audiences expect from the genre.”

Miranda is performing on Broadway in the lead role of Alexander Hamilton in the hit musical Hamilton, for which he wrote the book, music and lyrics.

Hamilton was nominated for a record 16 Tony Awards, with the winners to be announced on June 12.
