It appears fans' wait is nearing its end, as Miranda recently confirmed in a statement that his next directorial feature will be an adaptation of the musical "Octet," which explores themes of internet addiction. Regarding casting, rumors have circulated in recent weeks that Miranda is eyeing Rachel Zegler for one of the lead roles. The reason for specifying "one of" is that the musical features eight internet-addicted characters who gather in a church, lock away their phones, and begin to share their experiences battling addiction in a support group-like setting.
