Hollywood Making Milli Vanilli Movie Thu Feb 15, 2:57 AM 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. In the setps of Johnny Cash and Ray Charles? Yes, but people wanted to know their untold story. Do they really think that anyone needs or wants to hear the story of these 2 degenerates AGAIN? I am really in the wrong business. I just need to move out to Hollywood and pitch random ideas for movies and see what sticks. As a matter of fact, pitch your bad movie ideas. I guarantee that they are all better than this piece of garbage.
Me too. Imagine if instead of lipsincing, they dressed up the real singers (or found others with presence) and went from there. Really not that different from any number of other packaged acts, except they faked the figurehead.
I predict that Julio Iglesias will die sometime this year, and Antonio Banderas will be starring in a biopic by year's end.

"Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story" was better (last night on VH1 Movies That Rock) But... around that same time, I had the MV Album, too.
