The mania for turning movies into musicals continues apace with the news that boozy Tom Cruise classic Cocktail is to get a stage makeover.
The film's screenwriter, Heywood Gould, told the New York Post that he was at work on a script during a 20th anniversary party for the movie.
The 1988 original starred Cruise as a talented stick-swizzler who relocates to Jamaica with Bryan Brown's grizzled mentor to try and raise the money to fund a classy new bar called Cocktails and Dreams.
"I am writing it as we speak," said Heywood. "[Producer] Marty Richards is on board and he's working on the score. It's far too early to talk about casting. We haven't approached anybody yet. But I do like Katie Holmes."
Holmes, now married to Cruise, would presumably be earmarked for the girlfriend role played by Elisabeth Shue in the original. But Gould may face competition from another movie-turned-musical: producers of the Broadway version of Finding Neverland are reported to have set their sights on Holmes for the Kate Winslet role.
