That's according to the Wall Street Journal, which on Wednesday reported that Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox were in a massive bidding war for movie rights to the musical, though the final production won't be a filmed adaptation.
Instead, audiences will get to revel in a 2016 recording of the award-winning hit, original cast and all.

AT&T Inc.’s Warner Bros. also purchased the rights to adapt Miranda’s musical “In the Heights” in June.
"A massive hit and a cultural phenomenon, it has grossed nearly $400 million in New York since opening in 2015, according to Broadway World," the Wall Street Journal reported. "It has won 11 Tony Awards, including best musical, as well as a Grammy and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama."

Miranda, composer, writer and star of the original show had previously revealed the secret recording and planned to release the recording in the future.
“What are we doing with that footage? No idea,” he tweeted after the reveal. “Throwing it in a vault at Gringotts for a bit [probably]. But we’re getting it.”
Filmed over two New York nights, the recording is “an exact replica of the Broadway production, including an intermission,” a viewer told the Journal.
