The Russo Brothers Want to Make a Musical with The Weeknd

Maximalist filmmakers, the Russo brothers, joined us on Rolling Stone‘s Twitch channel for a chat about their new action movie The Gray Man and their desire to direct a musical.

“I’d love to work with someone who wants to do an experimental musical,” said Joe Russo, adding that the brothers have talked to a number of artists, including The Weeknd about this idea. “I thought what he did during his Super Bowl show was awesome. I’d love to see that as a movie.”
