Academy Award winner Callie Khouri, whose resume includes Nashville and Patsy & Loretta, is collaborating with theater director Trip Cullman, Neko Case, and writer Halley Feiffer on a Broadway musical based on the Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon film, Thelma & Louise.
Callie Khouri won an Oscar for the film, which earned a total of six nominations. Khouri spoke to The Hollywood Reporter on Friday night at MGM and Cinespia’s 30th-anniversary drive-in screening event at the Greek Theatre. And while her main characters may not have made it past the end credits, Khouri said that hasn’t stopped Hollywood from lobbing requests as to whether or not there could be more life in Thelma & Louise.
“There have been queries over the years, but I didn’t really want to see it. I just felt like they nailed it,” she says, referring to her two leading ladies, Scott and the team. “I’m not a big reboot person, anyway.”
Khouri confirmed to THR that she and a handful of collaborators are in the “very early stages” of development on a musical version based on the iconic film.
