After taking on Taylor Swift in her 2023 tour documentary Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, director Sam Wrench has set his sights on a different (albeit fictional) pop star for his next project.

The documentarian has been tapped to remake the 1980 music drama The Idolmaker, per Deadline, which followed a music promoter who discovered two teen idols and catapulted them into stardom, causing a tense feud between the two. The feature was based on the life of rock promoter/producer Bob Marcucci, who discovered Frankie Avalon and Fabian.

This marks Wrench’s narrative debut, just over a year after he broke the box office with Swift’s Eras Tour doc. The tour documentary, which is streaming now on Disney+, earned a Golden Globe nomination for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement after it became the highest-grossing concert film of all time with $261.6 million earned in the global box office.

Swifties even crashed the AMC app after the concert film was announced.

Swift may have been Wrench’s star vehicle. Wrench has directed several live performances from Disney Parks Magical Day Parade to the 49th Annual People’s Choice Awards, as well as several live musical performances from artists like Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Louis Tomlinson and more. But Wrench truly showed his directing chops with this monumental feat.

This isn’t the first time MGM has tried taking a stab at The Idolmaker.

The remake was originally in development in 2014 with Craig Brewer, who directed Hustle & Flow and the 2011 Footloose remake. Original Idolmaker producers Gene Kirkwood and Hawk Koch were set to produce. But most notably, Justin Timberlake was also attached as a producer, likely using his experience as a boy bander and solo pop star to inform the film, per Variety.

Kirkwood and Koch are still attached to produce Wrench’s Idolmaker remake, along with A Star is Born producer Bill Gerber.

Emmy-winning writer Jason Katims, who wrote The Vow and created Parenthood, will write the new remake.
