Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Adly Guirgis wrote the stage drama, which is based on the classic 1975 movie, written by Frank Pierson and directed by Sydney Lumet.
Al Pacino and John Cazale starred in the film, which was inspired by a true story.
"Step back into the sweltering summer of 1972, New York City -- a time when the Vietnam War looms large, Watergate headlines flood the news, and one man's desperate act captivates the nation," a synopsis said.
"A Brooklyn bank hold up quickly goes wrong, and with each gut-wrenching twist that unfolds, chaos ensues that ignites the city as they follow the actions of a man on the edge."
The show is expected to open in the spring of 2026.

‘Weapons' Star June Diane Raphael Explains Pantless Premiere Look: ‘It's a Little C—y and a Little Horror and a Little Scary'
June Diane Raphael turned it out Thursday night at the world premiere of her new movie 'Weapons,' wearing a a pantless black tuxedo look reminiscent of Roxie Hart, the murderess ex-con turned showgirl in the Broadway musical 'Chicago.' 'When you're a part of such a big genre film and such a giant piece of performance art, it's time to leave your pants at home,' Raphael deadpanned. 'I've always said that, you know what I mean? It's time to lose a major piece of clothing. (The 'performance art' was a faux classroom on the red carpet inside the United Theater on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles that featured several child actors pretending to be unconscious at their desks and a couple of boys covered in creepy clown makeup.) More from Variety Why Seth Rogen Is Becoming the New Nicole Kidman Across TV and Film: 'I've Always Been Proud of Having a Lot of Output' Taron Egerton Shaved His Head and Bulked Up to Play an Ex-Con in 'She Rides Shotgun,' but 'There Was No Method Nonsense' Jessica Chastain Enrolls at Harvard Kennedy School to Get Masters Degree in Public Administration Raphael continued, 'It's horror chic. It's horror glam and it's a little cunty and a little horror and a little scary and a little spooky.' An original horror written and directed by Zach Cregger, 'Weapons' revolves around a town's reaction to the disappearance of an entire classroom students who ran from their homes at 2:17 a.m. and vanished into the night, triggering a wave of frantic finger-pointing and accusations ensnaring the children's teacher (Julia Garner.) Raphael, best known for her turn on 'Grace and Frankie' with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, admitted she wasn't exactly a horror fan: 'I am such a scaredy cat. I'm scared right now.' The cast of the Warner Bros film also includes Josh Brolin, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Alden Ehrenreich Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan. As previously reported by Variety, 'Weapons' cost $38 million in a package that included $10 million total for Cregger to write, direct and produce after a frenetic bidding war. Cregger's 2022 summer hit 'Barbarian' made close to $50 million on just a $4 million budget via 20th Century. 'Weapons' is in theaters on Aug. 8. See more photos from the 'Weapons' premiere below.

Tom Holland's new Spider-Man suit has been partially revealed ahead of Brand New Day, and the first look is giving us Sam Raimi vibes
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Spider-Man's new suit in Brand New Day has been teased in a new promo, and it appears Tom Holland's Spidey might have been taking some design tips from Tobey Maguire's webhead during the events of No Way Home... As you can see below, Sony has offered the briefest of glimpses at the new Spider-Man suit. While it's deliberately obscured and vague, there's plenty to get attached to, not least of all the shiny red colorway and the raised webbing, one that instantly calls to mind Sam Raimi's 2000s trilogy of Spider-Man films. Tom Holland will seemingly don that suit in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which stars Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, and Jon Bernthal. It's not yet known, though, if he will keep the pitch-perfect costume that was shown during the No Way Home ending. The first look at the suit may have come from an official source but, on the more unofficial end of the spectrum, a recent series of set photos may have confirmed that Mister Negative will be prowling the streets of New York as Brand New Day's Big Bad. The villain made his name as the foil for Spidey in Insomniac's series of PlayStation titles. Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits cinemas on July 31, 2026 as part of Marvel Phase 6.
