Rivers Cuomo recently revealed he’s also working on a film musical called Buddha Superstar, as well as progressing on Weezer’s upcoming “four-album” project.
“[The albums are] called ‘Spring’, ‘Summer’, ‘Fall’ and ‘Winter’,” Cuomo told The Forty-Five, and said that Buddha Superstar is being helmed by a Broadway producer attached to Green Day’s American Idiot show.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long,” Cuomo said. “I think I just needed somebody else to come along and really encourage me.”
Reviewing Weezer’s latest album ‘OK Human’, NME wrote: “Weezer have delivered an album that’s intimate, thoughtful and resolutely human.
Meanwhile, Kelsey Grammer finally confirmed the long-awaited Frasier revival earlier this year, which will air on Paramount+. There is no word yet on casting or release date.
Paramount will release The Space Between in cinemas in the US on April 23, and on digital and demand on June 15.
