TheOregonTrail: The Iconic Video Game is Being Made Into Movie Musical [Exclusive] The ‘Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile’ team of Will Speck, Josh Gordon, benjpasek and heyitsjustin are developing the project now.
With the release of their new film, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile coming later this week, directing duo Josh Gordon and Will Speck sat down with Collider's own Steve Weintraub to discuss their adaptation of the classic children's book. The musical comedy follows the titular croc as he meets a new friend in Josh who struggles to fit in with his new surroundings in New York City.
"It was the only video game you were "allowed" to play in school because it was educational. So, everybody would spend their free period in, whatever, science, computer lab, basically playing this early video game."Though the experience is universal, Gordon and Speck said the idea to adapt the game came from their Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile songwriting duo Pasek and Paul . "And they've both been very obsessed with Oregon Trail," Speck said.
"It always had this dark band of humor running through it, because your chances of dying from everything from dysentery to a cut to anything was... Basically, every move you ended up dying." "For us, that's returning a little bit to our roots in comedy, marrying it with the fun of doing a big musical, and also just the ambition of taking that very seriously as well and making a big historical westward expansion epic that's also about dying from dysentery.
And we want to find a home for it where we know it'll get made in the right way. That was a little bit what we did on this project, which was really got the rights, developed, and then found our studio partner. We're finding that to be a really effective creative approach.
