A motion picture adaptation of Dreamgirls, to be written and directed by Bill Condon, is scheduled to start filming in early 2006, starring Jennifer Hudson of American Idol fame as Effie White, Beyoncé Knowles as Deena Jones, and Anika Noni Rose as Lorrell. Fantasia Barrino had originally been the top contender considered for the role of Effie .

Also appearing in Dreamgirls are Jamie Foxx as Curtis Taylor, Jr, Eddie Murphy as James "Thunder" Early, Danny Glover as Early's manager, and Sharon Leal as Michelle Morris. Usher Raymond was in talks to play C.C. White, but the producers could not negotiate an acceptable deal with him, and cast Keith Robinson in that role.

To give the story more exposure for the upcoming film release, DreamWorks Pictures and the copyright owners of the original play have announced that they will pay the licensing fees for all stage performances of Dreamgirls for the calendar year of 2006. DreamWorks hopes to encourage amateur productions of Dreamgirls, and familiarize a wider audience with the play.
