Amanda Seyfried and Evan Rachel Wood are working on Thelma & Louise Musical

Amanda Seyfried is developing a musical based on Thelma & Louise, while Evan Rachel Wood is said to have joined the project.

According to Variety's report, a musical based on the iconic film has been in the works since around 2021, with Callie Khouri — who wrote the screenplay for the original 1991 film — on board to pen the musical and indie singer/ songwriter Neko Case creating the score.

Scott Delman will produce the film. Reports from 2021 suggested theater executive Trip Cullman (Six Degrees of Separation) was on board to helm the musical adaptation, but it's currently unclear if that's still the case.

News of the musical emerged during the Golden Globe Awards, when Seyfried was absent and couldn't accept her win for Best Performance in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for the television for her performance as Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu's The Dropout. Onstage, presenters Mo Brings Plenty and Cole Hauser revealed that Seyfried couldn't attend because she was "in the process of creating a new musical", leading fans to speculate. p>

While Seyfriend hasn't confirmed the news, she took to Instagram after the awards show and confirmed that she was "doing something magical and it's musical." She couldn't say more, but noted that it was something she had never done and was excited to continue.

Released in 1991, Thelma & Louise stars Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis as two friends who embark on a road trip. After the couple shoot a man attempting to rape one of them, they must try to evade the police. The film was both a critical and commercial success and garnered six Academy Award nominations, winning Best Original Screenplay. The film has since become a landmark feminist film and was deposited with the United States Library of Congress in 2016.
