\nIt has been an interesting turn of events for the film adaptation of the LMM musical that won four Tonys and brought the Nuyorican impresario to audiences\u2019 attention. Initially, the rights had been purchased by the Weinstein Company after Universal balked because they didn\u2019t have “a big enough Latino star to bankroll” the production. And just last year music mogul\u00a0Jay-Z announced he\u2019d be co-producing the feature<\/a>\u00a0as part of a first-look deal with TWC. Of course all of this was before the shocking allegations against Weinstein founder, Harvey Weinstein, were revealed last October. Since then the company\u2019s assets have been frozen. While many pictures remain in limbo Miranda and Hudes secured the rights since the film didn\u2019t start production. When the allegations against Weinstein were revealed last November Hudes, who is screenwriter on the adaptation, slammed him in a social media post, calling him “despicable.”
