According to Variety magazine, a movie about the publicly humiliated pop group of the 80's will be underway soon.
Universal Pictures is working on a film about Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus of the group Milli Vanilli.Milli Vanilli won a 'Best New Artist' Grammy in 1990 but had the award revoked after it was discovered that it was all a sham. The two shoulder pad & spandex wearing men were not the actual singers of the group. They performed to audiences using prerecorded material which was all fine until one day the music skipped.
I never understood why the men who actually sang on the album didn't get the Grammy Award in place of the deceptive duo that previously took center stage.
Jeff Nathanson, who wrote Catch Me If You Can starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, will also write the motion picture about Milli Vanilli.
Says Nathanson about the project, "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."
