Originally set to hit theaters on October 15, 2021, last month \"Hamilton\" was moved ahead by more than a year to be released July 3, 2020 -- just in time for Independence Day -- largely thanks to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.

This is not a movie version of the Tony-winning musical, though, it's the stage version filmed from The Richard Rodgers Theatre as a movie with the original cast -- including Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs and more.

Miranda, 40, explained how the shoot took place over three days from Sunday to Tuesday, using a combination of live shows and opportunities to get close-up shots, dolly shots, and \"all the coverage you would want to get in a movie.\"

\"So it was basically a three-day film shoot with the best rehearsed cast in the history of the movies,\" the Pulitzer Prize winner continued, \"because we had all been doing the show for a year at this point.\"

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
