Cher: The Musical Coming Soon?

Filmmaker Andy Fickman said he is working on a theatrical piece based on the life and career of pop legend Cher.

"We'll be making announcements about that project coming together shortly," he told PopEater Thursday. "She's a fairly phenomenal character, Cher -- as a human being I think she's one of the great icons of all time, a force to be reckoned with. The way she looked onstage with Lady Gaga [at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards], well, it's one for the books."

Fickman's latest film, You Again, starring Kristen Bell, Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristin Chenoweth, and Betty White, hits theaters September 24.
