If the production company Global Creatures has its way, Baz Luhrmann’s cancan will dance-dance to the stage.

The company announced on Thursday that it is developing a stage version of Mr. Luhrmann’s popular 2001 movie musical “Moulin Rouge,” with a book by the Tony Award-winning writer John Logan (“Red”) and direction by Alex Timbers (“Peter and the Starcatcher”), a Tony nominee who was recently dismissed as the director of the Broadway-bound adaptation of another movie musical, “Frozen.”

A production date, cast and venue for “Moulin Rouge!: The Musical,” as the show will be called, are still to be announced.

Mr. Luhrmann’s film, about the relationship between a young writer (Ewan McGregor) and the star of the Moulin Rouge (Nicole Kidman), was an anachronistic jukebox musical that featured songs by bands as diverse as DeBarge (“Rhythm of the Night”) and Nirvana (“Smells Like Teen Spirit”), but set in 1899 Paris. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best picture and best actress (Ms. Kidman); it won two, for costume design and art direction.
