Deadline:

Last year’s multiple Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen which won not only Best Musical but Best Actor and Best Actress in a Musical for Ben Platt and Rachel Bay Jones, respectively, is on its way to becoming a film. Stephen Chbosky, who directed last year’s sleeper worldwide box office hit Wonder, has been in conversations to direct, and negotiations have just begun. There is no start date as yet.

Shockingly, this is going to happen well before the phenomenon of Hamilton.
