Farin Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Girl it is true: Milli Vanilli the movie! [smaller]Thursday, February 15, 2007 Link[/smaller] Disgraced pop duo Milli Vanilli will soon get a movie made about their less-than-spectacular career, following in the cinematic steps of such icons as Ray Charles and Johnny Cash. Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety has reported that Universal Pictures is developing a film about the lip-synching combo, who lost their coveted Grammy for best new artist in 1990 when it emerged that they had never sung on their records. The duo sold 30 million singles and 11 million albums. Their biggest hit Girl You Know It's True reached No.3 in the UK charts. The project will be written and directed by Jeff Nathanson, who previously wrote the Leonardo DiCaprio crime caper "Catch Me If You Can." He has secured the cooperation of Milli Vanilli alumnus Fabrice Morvan, who has been pursuing a comeback for years, as well as the estate of his colleague, Rob Pilatus, who died of a drug overdose in 1998. "I've always been fascinated by the notion of fakes and frauds, and in this case, you had guys who pulled off the ultimate con, selling 30 million singles and 11 million albums and then becoming the biggest laughing-stocks of pop entertainment," the paper quoted Nathanson as saying.

TheLizard Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I wonder if the actors that they get to play them will actually sing their songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 They might just as well use the real artist, who were actually fake, as the actors, who really aren't actors, or singers either for that matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe anyone would make a movie out of this! I am sorry the other guy died of a drug overdose. I feel sorry for people in the limelight who become laughingstocks. I dont think they can recover if they are very focused on fame. Maybe I will open a nature camp for disgraced public figures to find their true selves again...in my next life!
