Milli Vanilli: The Movie
Yahoo! Music, Feb 15, 2007 1:00 pm PSTA movie about Milli Vanilli is in the pipeline, according to reports emerging from Hollywood.
The film will detail the rise and fall of the late-'80s duo, who became international stars only to be exposed as pop frauds.
Jeff Nathanson, writer of Catch Me If You Can, is understood to be behind the biopic, which has the backing of the group, claims the Daily Variety.
Both Fabrice Morvan and the estate of Rob Pilatus, who died in 1998 of a drugs overdose, have apparently approved the project.
Nathanson admitted to being "fascinated by the notion of fakes and frauds, and in this case, you have guys who pulled off the ultimate con."
He describes Milli Vanilli, who sold 30 million singles and 11 million albums, as "the biggest laughing stocks of pop entertainment."
The group were awarded a Best New Artist Grammy in 1990, only to be stripped of the award after it was revealed that they hadn't sung on their own recordings.
