For music fanatics, High Fidelity is essential viewing. Watching the near-neurotic actions and behaviours of fellow collectors and makers of ‘Top 5’ lists is a totally cathartic experience and has become a rite of passage for obsessives everywhere.
Now, a small screen adaptation of High Fidelity is reportedly in the works thanks to Disney, which will see the gender of the lead characters flipped. The film, released in 2000 was based on Nick Hornby’s acclaimed 1995 novel of the same name, in which John Cusack plays the everyman owner of the store ‘Championship Vinyl’.
As reported by Deadline, the show will feature on Disney’s so-to-be streaming service, set to launch in 2019 and original screenwriter Scott Rosenberg in on board to produce.
The new streaming service will also see the creation of new Star Wars and Marvel shows.
