Over Twitter, in classic Cher fashion, the icon announced that Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman will produce the film. Craymer and Goetzman produced both live adaptations of Mamma Mia!, the second of which starred Cher.
Cher said her “dear friend” Eric Roth will write. For his work on films such as Forrest Gump, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and A Star Is Born, Roth has received five nominations at the Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay.
In a press release, Craymer said: “Gary and I are thrilled to be working with Cher again and this time bringing her empowering and true-life odyssey to the big screen. “One cannot help but be drawn to and inspired by Cher’s larger than life talent, fortitude, unique wit, warmth and vision.
