George Lucas is tackling his first musical and it features fairies, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog.

Apparently the project is “untitled” and “top-secret” but THR says it will be a CGI-animated film and is in pre-production at Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch.

THR also says Canadian filmmaker Kevin Munroe is directing the film, which is expected to feature music from a variety of sources. Munroe made his directorial debut in 2007 with the fourth Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, TMNT. He made his live-action debut with 2009’s Dead of Night, starring Brandon Routh and Taye Diggs.

David Berenbaum, who wrote the Will Ferrell comedy Elf and children’s fantasy The Spiderwick Chronicles, penned the musical’s screenplay. One known element of the script is that it features fairies.

Lucas has not directed a movie since Revenge of the Sith in 2005. He produced Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Star Wars: The Clone Wars in 2008 and is currently putting the finishing touches on Red Tails, for which he wrote the screenplay and is executive producer. THR says Red Tails is an adventure movie that tells the World War II story of the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first black pilots.
