Wicked is a tough act to follow, so its director is going back to the classics for his next film with an adaptation of Dr. Seuss' final book
Briefly

Following the successful release of Wicked, which grossed $717 million against a $150 million budget, Jon M. Chu is directing an animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss' Oh, The Places You'll Go!. This project, set for release in 2028, involves a young adventurer navigating life. Co-directed with Jill Culton, the film's screenplay is by Rob Lieber and features original songs by EGOT winners Pasek and Paul. Though less known than Seuss's other works, this story reflects his signature style and themes.
The first part of Wicked has been a big hit at the box office, and after part two releases this year, director Jon M. Chu will be diving into your childhood.
Chu's next film is set to be an animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss' Oh, The Places You'll Go!, which in this version will apparently follow a "young adventurer navigating the ups and downs of life."
It seems like Oh, The Places You'll Go! will also be a musical, as EGOT winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are composing original songs for it.
Oh, The Places You'll Go! isn't obviously as well known as titles like The Cat in the Hat or Horton Hears a Who!, but it is still the usual kind of thing you can expect from the author.
