The filmmaker, who died last week aged 81, directed the 1984 coming-of-age movie starring Matt Dillon, and now it's set to be turned into a musical by producers Bob Israel and Larry Hirschhorn, reported Variety.
Producers are hoping to bring the 1960s-themed production to Broadway in the spring of 2018.
"The Flamingo Kid" also featured Marisa Tomei, Richard Crenna and Hector Elizondo.
