I remember they tried to do a movie of The Producers with the original cast and original director. My only hope is that somehow it made money by being a flop. (It's not an universal rule, but hiring the director of the play to direct the movie is often a terrible idea. Not worthy even of Max Bialystock.)

The movie just seemed so lacking in energy. I saw a stage production at a nearby regional theatre and it was everything that the movie wasn’t - lively and really entertaining.

Sight unseen, I daresay that Lane is not the sort to be the lead in a movie musical.
