A ‘Hamilton’ Film Could Resurrect The Entire Movie Musical Genre

“As long as Hollywood doesn’t see Hamilton as ‘what gimmick can we glean to slap on other projects for money’ … but takes risks for the audience to enjoy, then we could start to see movie musicals marching back toward their live action origins. Book of Mormon, Next to Normal, and many other musicals not even created yet could be the revitalization of the genre – but Hamilton is the linchpin.” (Lin-Manuel Miranda may beg to differ.)
