If you have gone anywhere near London recently you'll have noticed big yellow posters everywhere for the musical Bat Boy, now playing at the Shaftesbury Theatre in the West-End. Well, according to Aint It Cool News, a movie version is in the works, with John 'Blues Brothers' Landis doing directing duties. Co-author of the , Brian Flemming, tells all --

John Landis is going to direct the Bat Boy: The Musical movie. I'm one of the playwrights, along with Keythe Farley and Laurence O'Keefe. Despite some interest since 2001 (the New York premiere of the play), the three of us have held out on making a movie deal until now, because we wanted the right director attached.

The musical is also playing across the US and remains at the Shaftesbury Theatre until February.
