Lionel Richie is set to have his legendary story transformed into a dazzling movie musical titled All Night Long in collaboration with Disney. This highly anticipated project promises to bring the magic of Richie’s iconic music to the silver screen, celebrating his extraordinary journey and unforgettable hits in a spectacular showcase that fans won’t want to miss!

According to Variety, a script is being written by screenwriter Pete Chiarelli, though a director has yet to be announced.

Sources say the film could be compared to that of ABBA’s Mamma Mia! films, in terms of its jukebox musical nature.

The movie is still in pre-production, so a planned release date has yet to be announced.

It comes after Lionel announced he was remaking ‘We Are The World’ for charity.

The song was later rereleased with current and former American Idol contestants, as well as Lionel’s fellow judges Katy Perry and Luke Bryan.

The original track, released 35 years ago, featured Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, Cyndi Lauper, Diana Ross and several other big name stars.

It raised $63 million to fight famine in Africa, but now 70-year-old Lionel has performed the song once more with both new and former Idol contestants during the show’s 2020 finale.
