Thelma & Louise the Musical! Amanda Seyfried and Evan Rachel Wood are in line to play the legendary duo in the stage version of the 1991 film
Amanda Seyfried and Evan Rachel Wood are rumored to be “workshopping” a musical version of Ridley Scott’s 1991 feminist road movie Thelma & Louise.
Seyfried’s involvement comes after it was cryptically revealed that she missed picking up her Golden Globe this Tuesday because she was “deep in the process of creating a new musical.”
Now, Variety is reporting that she and Wood could play the iconic characters first portrayed by Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis.

According to the report, the film’s original screenwriter Callie Khori has been involved with the musical since last year, with indie songwriter Neko Case working on the songs and Haley Feiffer (Dear Edward) writing the book.
Seyfried, 37, has already wowed audiences with her singing talents in the two Mamma Mia musical films, while Wood, 35, also starred in the Beatles jukebox musical Across the Universe, directed by Julie Taymor.
The Mean Girls actress was praised again on Tuesday when she won a Golden Globe for her role as Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s The Dropout.
However, her failure to show up at the event set Twitter on fire after it was revealed on stage that she was busy working on a new musical.

The Mamma Mia star then addressed her absence on Wednesday and confirmed her work on the musical, saying she was in New York at the time of the event.
“I was on FaceTime with my Dropout team, my wonderful Dropout team, which is the reason I received this award,” she said.
“It’s a true honor to have been a part of it. I had to miss it because I’m doing something magical and musical. So I can finally do something I’ve never really done before.

She added: “That’s all I can really say about it. Hopefully more soon. But it’s a lot of work. It’s more fun and it was a great night. So instead of an acceptance speech, I’m going to say thank you to my entire Dropout family and my family.
The original film is considered a seminal feminist film and gives young Brad Pitt his first major film role.
It received an impressive six Academy Award nominations, with both Sarandon and Davis receiving Best Actress nominations.
The film grossed an impressive $45.4 million at the box office despite its $16.5 million budget.
