MGM Lands Peter Dinklage-Led CYRANO Adaptation With Music by The National

MGM Lands Peter Dinklage-Led CYRANO Adaptation With Music by The National
MGM has picked up "Cyrano", a musical adaptation of Edmond Rostand's 1897 verse drama "Cyrano de Bergerac". "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage will reprise the role he played onstage in 2019.

The film will be directed by Joe Wright ("Atonement", "Darkest Hour") from a script by Erica Schmidt, and the cast also includes Haley Bennett, Brian Tyree Henry and Ben Mendelsohn.

The show placed emphasis on the title character's height rather than his nose. Dinklage played the lead at Goodspeed Opera House in 2018 and Off-Broadway the following year, while Bennett played Roxanne at the former.

Music is by The National songwriter-musicians Aaron and Bryce Dessner, with lyrics by lead vocalist Matt Berninger and longtime collaborator Carin Besser. Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner will produce along with Guy Heeley.

MGM also landed Ridley Scott's true crime drama "Gucci" about the murder of fashion trailblazer Maurizio Gucci, an Andy Weir space drama, and Paul Thomas Anderson's next movie.
