EXCLUSIVE: Johannes Radebe’s memoir JoJo: Finally Home is being adapted as family movie, complete with musical numbers choreographed by the man himself. Radebe, who is South African, has achieved fame as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing. His book, released last year, details his journey from poverty to the ballroom and TV studio. It fast became a bestseller.
Anthony Kimble’s Arrested Industries and Helena Spring Films have swooped on the rights and are working on a movie adaptation. Finally Home (working title) will not be a straight-up musical, but will be “packed with heart, great music, wonderful costumes and big dance numbers,” the producers said.
