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.
Grande is also set to appear in the next film in the Meet the Parents franchise alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. Gad's future projects include producing and starring in Amazon's Spaceballs 2.

'My dad just said this to me': Salman Khan recalls valuable advice given by his father Salim Khan, wished to hearing it 'earlier'
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 27 (ANI): Bollywood star Salman Khan recounted the precious piece of advice he got from his father, legendary screenwriter Salim Khan. He shared a thoughtful message that no one can force anyone to do something and wished he had heard his father's advice earlier; however, Khan said it's "never too late". Taking to his Instagram handle, he wrote a cryptic post along with a picture of himself in black T-shirt, "Present becomes yr past, past catches up 2 your future, present Is a gift, do right with it, mistakes repeated becomes a habit n then your character, dont blame any 1 , no 1 can make u do anything that u don't want to. My dad just said this to me, it's so true. Kash I heard this earlier but never too late" After his post, netizens dropped heart emojis and expressed their love for the superstar. One of the social media users wrote, "Your caption,so beautiful thats very true", while the other commented, "Super bhaijaan" On the work front, Salman Khan was recently seen in 'Sikandar', alongside Rashmika Mandanna. The film also starred Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Jatin Sarna, Sanjay Kapoor, Prateik, Smita Patil, and Kishore. In the film, Salman plays Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot, a man trying to fix his past after a tragic incident. Despite big names, Sikandar, directed by A.R. Murugadoss, failed at the box office. Khan will be seen donning the Indian Army uniform in Apoorva Lakhia's directorial 'Battle of Galwan', which is based on the Galwan valley clashes at the India-China border in 2020. Twenty Indian soldiers had died during the Galwan valley clash on June 16, 2020, five years ago, while the Chinese side also faced heavy casualties. Following the clashes, tensions between India and China rose with the army deploying formations near the Galwan Valley, along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh and undertook a range of activities such as surveying border areas to stop a "possible" Chinese aggression. Since the clashes, India and China have disengaged from various border areas steadily, and have also created a buffer zone in various areas. Salman took to social media earlier to announce the project, unveiling a powerful motion poster. (ANI)
