Anne of Green Gables goes big-screen and musical

And speaking of movie adaptations, Variety informs me that they'll be making a movie out of the long-running Anne of Green Gables musical. I had no idea this even existed (I am not hip to the musical skip, obviously, since it's apparently been around for fifty years), much less that there was sufficient demand to turn it into a feature film, but what do I know? Maybe Anne's puffed sleeves were truly meant to be experienced in 3-D.
