Ariana Grande and Josh Gad to star in Dr. Seuss' Oh, The Places You'll Go!, Entertainment News
Ariana Grande and Josh Gad have been cast in Dr Seuss film Oh, The Places You'll Go! The Wicked star is reuniting with Jon M. Chu — who will direct with Jill Culton — on the upcoming animated musical adaptation of the iconic children's writer's last published book, which was released in 1990 before his death the following year aged 87. Warner Bros. Pictures Animation revealed the casting news on Tuesday (July 15) with an Instagram post showing Grande and Gad in the studio. The duo will lead the voice cast, but no details have been given on specifics roles or the plot as a whole. The story follows a young adventurer exploring the highs and lows of life. Rob Liber has written the script, with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Bad Robot involved in the production. Original songs are being written for the musical by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, while the film is set to hit cinemas — including Imax — on March 17, 2028. Director Chu's next film in cinemas will be the sequel Wicked: For Good in November, which will see Grande return as Glinda. The 31-year-old actress also has roles coming up in the next Meet The Parents movie, while Gad has been cast in Amazon's Spaceballs 2. Although she has found huge success as a popstar, after first starting out on TV, Grande previously revealed she hopes to make more movies after the success of 'Wicked'. She told ScreenDaily: "I would love to exist in this space for a while longer. "I love finding characters that make people feel seen and human. I'd love to continue on this road." The thank u next hitmaker stars opposite Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey in Wicked, but admitted that those who she became "closest" to were the ones who worked behind the scenes. She told The Movie Buddy: "It's hard to... I don't know, everyone was so fulfilling to be around, that helped recharge the battery too, my glam team, the people who you spend the most time with and get to know most closely. "My dresser Jess, she's my sister now, she would call me Chickadee. Everyone, PAs, everyone and that really helped recharge the battery." The Into You songstress also admitted that while there were "a lot of challenging moments" during filming, she cannot think of any particular one because she had so much "support" during production. She said: "I don't know, leaving set? I'm joking! There was a lot of challenging moments but I can't really... I had so much support, that's the thing. "Of course, it was very challenging work and there are very hard parts but everything felt so supported and so safe. It's hard to answer something like that." [[nid:720270]]

Born on March 2? Here's how you can get a free book to celebrate Dr. Seuss Day.
Born on March 2? Here's how you can get a free book to celebrate Dr. Seuss Day. Dr. Seuss Enterprises is upping the ante this year, offering even more free books in celebration of Dr. Seuss Day. Last year, the organization pledged to give a free book to every child born on March 2, 2024. This year, anyone in the U.S. with a March 2 birthday – from any year – can receive a free, personalized copy of 'The Cat in the Hat.' Alternatively, eligible readers can choose to donate their complimentary copy through First Book, a nonprofit that provides educational resources to children in underserved communities. 'Fostering learning and development through the joy of reading is central to our mission at Dr. Seuss Enterprises,' says Susan Brandt, president and CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, in a statement. 'The expansion of the Birthday Pledge allows us to bring Dr. Seuss books to many more readers because, 'The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.'' How to snag a free book on Dr. Seuss Day Any U.S. resident with a March 2 birthday is eligible to receive a complimentary copy of 'The Cat in the Hat.' To get yours, register at and choose whether you'd like Dr. Seuss Enterprises to send your book to you or donate it to a child in an underserved community. What is Dr. Seuss Day? Celebrated every year on March 2, Dr. Seuss day honors the beloved children's book author behind classics like 'The Cat in the Hat,' 'Green Eggs and Ham' and 'Oh the Places You'll Go!' Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on that day in 1904. Sunday's celebration would mark his 121st birthday. For over 20 years, National Education Association's Read Across America Day coincided with Dr. Seuss Day, until 2019, when the partnership contract ended. Now, though the two are still celebrated on or around the same day, NEA has pivoted to focus their annual reading day on diverse children's books. This year, Read Across America Day is March 3. The shift came in the wake of controversy and criticism over the portayal of people of color in some Seuss books. On Dr. Seuss Day in 2021, Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced it would cease sales of six books because of the way they illustrated people 'in ways that are hurtful and wrong.' This year, Dr. Seuss Enterprises will celebrate March 2 with the ninth annual 'Tackle Reading' event, a partnership between Creative Minds Publications and NFL players where athletes will read a beloved Seuss title at a school-wide assembly. Participating schools will also receive a collection of Random House Children's Books and each child will receive their own Dr. Seuss book.
