Ariana Grande, Josh Gad to lead Oh, the Places Youll Go! animated movie
The musical film is set for theatrical release on March 17, 2028.
The script was written by Rob Lieber and is based on Dr. Seuss' popular children's book. Oh, the Places You'll Go!.
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are writing original songs for the project, which counts Bad Robot's J.J. Abrams and Gregg Taylor as producers, according to the outlet.
The film revolves around a young adventurer navigating the ups and downs of life. It is based on Dr. Seuss' last published book, which was released in 1990. The author died the following year at age 87, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In 2018, Warner Animation Group and Dr Seuss Enterprises struck a deal to make new animated movies based on the stories of Theodor Seuss Geisel.
"We are beyond thrilled to bring one of the most beloved Dr Seuss books to life for so many generations of Seuss fans. The pairing of this classic title, with the creative excellence of Jon Chu and Bad Robot defines what we at WB try to achieve; marry great branded entertainment with singular creative talent," Courtenay Valenti, president, production and development at Warner Bros. Pictures, said in a statement, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Vidya Balan's hilariously wholesome anecdote about Sanjay Dutt and her first-ever intimate scene in Parineeta
Trust Vidya Balan to light up the room with her hearty laugh. Vidya Balan and Sanjay Dutt in stills from Parineeta (2005)(Photos: X) The actor recently appeared on an episode of The Hollywood Reporter's THR Talks, hosted by Anupama Chopra. Part and parcel of the conversation involved her bouncing back to a comically bad experience she shared with an actor — who remained unnamed — whom she was supposed to shoot an intimate scene with. "I've had an actor who had Chinese and (winces) didn't brush and then I had an intimate scene with him and I was Do you not have a partner?", she exclaimed. Now given the context of the conversation, it was only fair she revisit the first-ever intimate scene she shot, which was incidentally for her Bollywood debut film Parineeta (2005). The scene involved her and Sanjay Dutt with her playing Lalita and Sanjay playing Girish. She shared, "He (Sanjay) came to me in the morning and he's saying 'Vidya, I am really nervous, I don't know how we're going to do this'. And I'm looking at him thinking, this is Sanjay Dutt (laughs). That itself is quite (laughs again)", quipping, "And then, he's so seasoned, he's telling me in every way (laughs), I couldn't resist that". But Vidya at the time was quick to understand how Sanjay went out of his way to make sure she wasn't feeling the pressure. "But you know, it was his generosity, what he did, was made sure that I felt like he too was nervous, and that took the load off me, because, you know, it was my first intimate scene and I was like, I didn't know my way. You know, you almost feel like you're going to expose a part of you when you're doing something like this". Not just this, Sanjay even came back after having shot the scene to personally check on her. "But that put me at ease and I'll never forget, at the end of the day, he came, knocked on my door and he said, 'are you okay?'. I said, 'yeah, absolutely'. He kissed me on my forehead and left. And that's why Sanjay Dutt is Sanjay Dutt". Looping back to her anecdote about the anonymous actor she added, "And he also smells lovely". Parineeta can be revisited on OTT.
