The Broadway news comes shortly after the surprising release of "Go Set a Watchman." 

Five decades after "To Kill a Mockingbird," Harper Lee's "Go Set a Watchman" was published.

It paints a much different picture of literary hero Atticus Finch. Rudin claims the Broadway play will be based on the original novel.

No casting or potential date information has been released.
