ONCE

A movie that cost just €130,000 and 17 days to make will cost at least $6m to reprise as a Broadway musical next year according to its would-be producers, The Sunday Times reports.

Fred Zollo, a Tony-winning producer with a dozen Oscar nominations to his name for movies such as Mississippi Burning and Quiz Show, says he hopes to stage the production in New York next autumn.

Once, the film starring Glen Hansard and his then girlfriend Markéta Irglová, disappeared from the box office chart in Ireland after a few weeks but became a massive hit in the US and the title track went on to win an Oscar.
