A musical adaptation of Thelma and Louise is in the works from the film鈥檚 Oscar-winning screenwriter Callie Khouri. Halley Feiffer will pen the book with singer-songwriter Neko Case writing the score and Trip Cullman signed on tno direct.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a completely different animal,鈥� Khouri told . 鈥淲e鈥檝e got a book and we鈥檝e got music but because of the pandemic, we all haven鈥檛 been together in a very, very long time. So, it鈥檚 still in its nascent stages, but it鈥檚 very promising. I don鈥檛 want to say too much about it.鈥�
Thelma and Louise premiered in 1991, starring Susan Surandon and Geena Davis as two best friends who embark on a road trip that goes horribly wrong. The film was a box office smash, scored six Oscar nominations, and introduced a then-unknown Brad Pitt.
