The successful Broadway musical, Jersey Boys, may in fact be making its way to the big screen. Better yet, it could in fact be led by Clint Eastwood at the helm!

The actor-turned-successful-director has yet to confirm his ties to the project, though we have NO doubt that the musical retelling of the rise of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons would be in good hands if left with him as director.

Jon Favreau was formerly linked to the potential film, but things changed when producer Graham King took Jersey Boys to Warner Bros. We’re not the only ones sensing some dramz here, right??

According to sources, Jersey Boys would be followed by Clint’s remake of A Star Is Born.

We really hope this is true!!

So, so happy that they're together!

Couldn't resist, folks! We're in the Broadway SPIRIT!

Those crooning, hunkster, all-star cats The Midtown Men from the original Jersey Boys cast recently graced GMA with a delightful rendition of Happy Together (above)!

Ahhh, we are shaking our jazz-hands in SO much excitement for the movie version of this jukebox-style Broadway smash, especially if Iron Man/Elf director Jon Favreau helms the project!

And perhaps Will Ferrell and Robert Downey Jr. can join the cast as half of the Jersey quartet?!

Ha, best movie everrrr!

Celebs don't have family boardgames nights. They have family Broadway nights!!!

John Travolta and little Ella loved Jersey Boys SO much when they saw it in NYC, wife and mom Kelly Preston just had to check it out in Vegas!!

So she took her mama and some close friends and went straight to it!!

After the performance, they went backstage and Kelly raved about the music being WAYY better than almost any other show she's ever seen.

Hugo is amazing. Jersey Boys is ah-mazing.

Congrats, Boys!

In 2006, before Real Housewives and even before Jersey Shore, some people associated New Jersey with the Broadway play Jersey Boys, which won the Tony for Best Play that year.

While there's nothing wrong with being associated with alcoholism and spray tans, we're sure that the Garden State will be happy to gain all the wonderful associations that come with this play, such as phenomenal music and crime and adultery.

The play tells the story of how Frankie Valli and his crew became an American pop sensation before they even turned 30.

GK Films reportedly acquired the rights to the former Broadway play for a substantial seven figures!

Heres' what Graham King of GK Films had to say about the project:

"Jersey Boys is one of the most electrifying stage shows any of us has ever seen and it has all the ingredients to become a big commercial hit movie. So to now be collaborating with the whole team, Frankie, Bob, Marshall and Rick, to bring that magic to the big screen is just a wonderful dream come true."

We'll be excited to see how this film progresses. Should be inneresting to see who they cast as 'the boys.'

Are U looking forward to a Jersey Boys movie?
