Hollywood News : Steven Spielberg to produce Bee Gee’s Biopic

The brothers Gibb are set to see their story told on the silver screen.
The film will chronicle the rise of Bee Gees from their humble beginnings; rocking out on the Isle of Man and then show their rise to being one of the most famous pop acts of all time. Currently, their album sales have broken 200 million worldwide.
Speaking recently about the project Robin Gibb has confirmed that Hollywood mega- mogul Steven Spielberg has signed on to produce the film, which means we will see his company Dreamworks SKG dipping their fishing rod in to another honey pot, with the legendary director describing the subject as “box office gold”. Following the footsteps of musical biopic might be a good move for Spielberg, who’s contemporary Martin Scorcese recently released SHINE A LIGHT to rave reviews. Of course, a director is yet to be announced and, if Spielberg stays to his traditional formula; then it’s doubtful he will direct. He’ll be too busy with TINTIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN and WAR HORSE, both due out in December 2011 and usually Mr Spielberg will do two and then have some time off.
Details about the film are still slosteven spielberg 1 Steven Spielberg to produce Bee Gees Biopicwly coming out but it is clear that the news has leaked as early in to the production as possible but it is rumoured that the original Bee Gee’s recordings will be used instead of having actors lend their own voices to the iconic material.
The Bee Gees split in 2003 following the death of Maurice, however they announced last year that Robin and Barry will reform the band for more concerts.
