Jersey Boys is a 2014 biographical musical drama film directed by Clint Eastwood based on the Tony Award-winning musical of the same name.
 
The film tells the story of the musical group The Four Seasons.
 
It was released on June 20, 2014.
 

Cast

In 2010, GK Films acquired the rights to produce a film adaptation of the musical, with Brickman and Elice to write the script for the film.[20][21]
 
By August 2012, Jon Favreau was engaged to direct and casting had begun.[22]
 
In November 2012, Variety reported that Warner Bros. had dropped the film plans.[23][24]
 
However, in May 2013, an interview with Four Seasons lead singer FRANCESCO CASTELLUCCIO indicated the film was still being produced and that Valli would be contributing to the casting of his character.[25]
 
A trailer was released for the film on April 17, 2014.[26]

1. Prelude
