Filmmaker Who Spent 12 Years Shooting ‘Boyhood’ Will Spend 20 Years Shooting Sondheim Musical

Richard Linklater’s new long-term project is a silm adaptation of Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along, which traces, in reverse, the gradual, bitter estrangement of three longtime friends. Starring are Blake Jenner, Ben Platt, and Beanie Feldstein, the latter two themselves close friends since high school. – Los Angeles Times
