Hollywood making Milli Vanilli movie
Thu Feb 15, 2007 2:57am ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - 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 reported in its Thursday issue 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 project will be written and directed for the General Electric Co.-controlled studio 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.

I'm glad the one guy is dead & doesn't have to see this. I'm sure the other agreed for monetary compensation.

I'll probably watch it, though...eventually...like, 7 years after it comes out on dvd.

Actually, I loved Catch Me....and the premise of this is pretty cool given they are focusing on them perpetuating a huge fraud on the public. Might end up being a good movie.

It's going to be a CGI movie--but so life-like you won't know the difference.

My wife still has her ticket stubs to a Milli Vanilli concert. She loved their music, didn't care who was singing...which means I'll have to go see it with her.
