After moving The Batman on Monday, Warner Bros. has made another move to a summer tentpole. Warner will now release Jon M. Chu’s In the Heights on June 18, 2021, after originally being set to release on June 26 this year.
“In the Heights is set in the Hispanic-American community of New York City’s bustling Washington Heights. When the neighborhood’s charismatic local bodega owner, and the pic’s humble narrator, finally decides to fulfill his dream of going to the island his parents called home, his departure will change his beloved block forever.”
Lin-Manuel Miranda recently spoke about the film’s score stating, “We were literally recording the score when all of this started happening. There’s a lot that remains to be done on that movie. We were finishing the score and the mixing and just getting the music exactly right.”
Stephanie Beatriz, Jimmy Smits, Corey Hawkins, Dascha Polanco, Melissa Barrera, and Marc Anthony are set to star in In the Heights.
