American multi-talented superstar Jennifer Lopez, Skydance Television, and Concord Originals are developing a limited series based on Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella”.
Rachel Shukert will write the adaptation as well as serve as executive producer and showrunner.
Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, and Benny Medina will executive produce for Nuyorican. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Bill Bost will executive produce for Skydance, along with Sophia Dilley, senior vice president of development and production at Concord Originals and Concord CEO Scott Pascucci.
The series marks the first project to be developed in the previously announced deal between the companies to create a slate of original projects based on Concord’s catalog of musicals.
The Rodgers and Hammerstein version first aired on television as a TV movie special in 1957 with Julie Andrews in the title role.
It was later reimagined in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren and again in 1997 starring Brandy. A Broadway version debuted in 2013.
Lopez is also teaming up with Skydance TV production to develop the TV series “Backwards in Heels” at Amazon.
She is developing the series through Nuyorican alongside Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina. Skydance TV’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost will also produce along with Julie Goldstein.
The series will be written and directed by Oscar nominee Richard LaGravenese.
“Backwards in Heels” follows the aspirational and timeless story about the glamourous women living at the iconic towering building, Barbizon Hotel in post-WWII New York City.
