According to Entertainment Weekly, Trey Parker and Matt Stone  are planning on bringing their Tony Award-winning musical to the big screen. Parker told EW: "Hopefully it will have a big run and a big tour and then we can do the movie in several years."

Stone continued, "We want to do it some day. The great thing is, a lot of Broadway teams would have to go team up with a Hollywood producer and bring on a Hollywood director, but Trey's a director and Scott [Rudin is] a great producer. We've all made movies. So it's kind of cool, it can stay in the same family."
