Currently untitled, the movie is billed as a “coming-of-age musical set in the summer of 1977 Virginia Beach inspired by Atlantis Apartments, Williams’ childhood neighborhood.”
Bailey will tar opposite Kelvin Harrison Jr. and new Oscar winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
Martin Hynes (‘Toy Story 4,’ ‘The Magician’s Elephant’) helms the script together with Steven Levenson (‘Tick, Tick…Boom!’)
