Theater director Phyllida Lloyd is in negotiations to make her feature directorial debut on "Mamma Mia!" -- Universal Pictures and Playtone's adaptation of the popular ABBA musical created by Judy Craymer and Catherine Johnson.

The story follows a bride-to-be -- raised on a Greek island by a formerly rebellious mom who never disclosed the identity of her father -- who locates three men who might be her father and invites them to her wedding. The musical features 22 ABBA songs, including "Dancing Queen," "Take a Chance on Me" and "The Winner Takes It All." Since opening in London in 1999, the show has grossed more than $1 billion with productions running around the globe.
