Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Warner Bros Animation Group have set Jon M. Chu as director of the upcoming film adaptation of Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Based on Dr. Seuss’ final book, Oh, The Places You’ll Go! will be a globetrotting animated musical following a young adventurer as they journey through the joys and heartaches, and the peaks and valleys, of life.
Perhaps best known for directing the worldwide phenomenon Crazy Rich Asians, Chu most recently helmed the film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning musical In the Heights, released in cinemas and on HBO Max.
He will also be directing the film adaptation of the record-breaking musical Wicked, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
Oh, The Places You’ll Go! marks Chu's first animated film and is set to debut in 2027.
