Merrily We Roll Along Movie 20-Year Filming Plan Still Moving Forward
Director Richard Linklater confirms that production on Merrily We Roll Along is keeping to the 20-year schedule. Backed by Blumhouse Productions, the film is an adaptation of the 1981 coming-of-age musical by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth. In turn, the musical was based on a play by the same name, created by George S Kaufman and Moss Hart, depicting the life of a successful playwright in reverse order from 1934 to 1916. Starring Beanie Feldstein as Mary Flynn, Ben Platt as Charley Kringas, and Blake Jenner as Franklin Shepard, the film (like Sondheim’s musical) will instead focus on the lives of three friends in reverse order, showing how age and ambition have affected their personalities and relationships.
