Deadline is reporting that music producer/composer Adam Anders (Glee, Rock of Ages, Dirty Dancing) is set to make his directorial debut on the upcoming musical feature Road to Bethlehem. He will also compose the project’s original music with singer/songwriter Nikki Anders and songwriter/music producer Peer Astrom. Christy Hall (I Am Not Okay with This) is writing the screenplay. Anders is also producing the Monarch Media, SPACE + ART Entertainment and STORY Collective production with Steve Barnett (Priceless) & Alan Powell, Brandt Andersen (Don Verdean, Exeter) and Stephen Meinen & Ryan Busse. Road to Bethlehem is set to shoot early next year in Utah.
Anders and Astrom have also recently co-written the original end title song Wear Your Crown for Ryan Murphy’s Netflix film The Prom, which just premiered last Friday on the streaming service.
