Remember how Warner Bros. won the hot bidding war for the film rights to Lin-Manuel Miranda's first hit stage show, "In The Heights"? Okay well if you don't, back in May, it was a highly sought-after property that was suffering a bit from the initial interest of someone with the initials H.W. Shortly thereafter, good ol' […]
