La La Land has proven that there is still plenty of cinema-love for musicals.

According to Variety, now these two guys will be teaming up for Wingmen, an adult musical about two pilots who crash-land in Las Vegas and end up in all sorts of hijinks.

We don’t see it winning as many Oscars as La La Land did, but we’re guessing it’s going to make A LOT more money.
