MILLI VANILLI-biopic "Girl, You Know It's True" starts in Spanish cinemas

MILLI VANILLI's story will be filmed in the USA and Europe. Whose version will be more truthful?
On October 4, the Internet portal IMDbPro, which publishes background information on past and future releases of the global film industry, posted a banner announcing a "comedy drama" about the history of the pop duo MILLI VANILLI. In a short accompanying text, it is announced that the director of this biopic will be Brett Ratner, who is known to fans of Hollywood products for his work on many famous blockbusters ("Rush Hour" and its successful sequels, "The Family Man", "Red Dragon", "After the Sunset", "X-Men: The Last Stand", "Tower Heist", "Hercules" and many more).
The announcement of the upcoming film about MILLI VANILLI, which has not yet received a title, is presented on IMDbPro as follows: "The story of one producer and two lip-syncing male models who would sell millions of records and win a Grammy before their scam was revealed."
Initially, Ratner wanted to bring this loudest pop scandal of the 20th century to the cinema screens back in 2007, in collaboration with Hollywood celebrity producer Kathleen Kennedy and Universal Pictures. The script was written by the equally famous Jeff Nathanson ("Speed 2", "Twister", "Catch Me If You Can" and others). However, a number of unfavorable factors, as well as the scandal surrounding the alleged sexual harassment by Brett Ratner against the actresses who worked with him, interrupted the work on the film for a long time. After breaking up with Universal and Warner Bros., the director still found partners to fund a biopic about MILLI VANILLI. In several interviews, Ratner admitted that the adaptation MILLI VANILLI's story "was a dream of all hes life", since the director has always been attracted by the fate of outstanding crooks.
However, connoisseurs of popular music from the very beginning expressed doubts that the film would become an objective reflection of the history of the pop duo, which was born thanks to the genius German producer Frank Farian. As the media found out, pseudo-singer Fab Morvan and his "voiceover" John Davis, who died in May of this year after being infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus, took part in the development of the script. The authors of the American version of the "comedy drama" did not hide the fact that they wanted to tell this story "from the point of view of young dancers hired to shoot video clips and concert performances." As far as is known, Frank Farian did not agree with this interpretation of events, because it will be a "half-truth", where the producer and the recording industry will almost certainly be portrayed as merciless monsters, while the fake "singers" will appear as innocent victims of greedy businessmen. In fact, everything was much more complicated, so music critics, fans of the pop duo, historians and journalists trying to restore the entire chronology of events will be breaking spears around this story for a long time.
Probably, given this factor, Frank Farian agreed to create a documentary television series about his creative career, which is currently being produced in Europe. It is expected that one of the parts of the film will be devoted to the history of MILLI VANILLI and the role of the main participants in the project in its resounding success and sensational fall from the musical Olympus.
At the same time, a certain group of left-wing documentary filmmakers from the United States also decided to release their film about this story, and they want to view it from the position of "irreconcilable fighters against racism" and apologists for the BLM movement, which a priori raises many questions regarding the objectivity (and adequacy) of the authors.
Well, as they say, we just have to stock up on popcorn and wait for a series of sensational and scandalous movie premieres...

10 Nomes da Música que Poderiam Render Grandes Filmes
MILLI VANILLI
A maior farsa da história da música pode até não ser muito conhecida nos dias de hoje, mas foi um escândalo gigantesco do início dos anos 90.
Pra quem não conhece a história, no final dos anos 80 o produtor musical Frank Farian fez um grande estardalhaço ao lançar uma dupla que misturava reggae com dance music, o Milli Vanilli, formada por Fab Morvan e Rob Pilatus.
A dupla fez muito sucesso no mundo inteiro, e em 1990 a banda ganhou o Grammy de Melhor Novo Artista do ano. Porém, meses depois, depois de muitas dúvidas que pairavam no ar, o produtor veio a público admitir que Morvan e Pilatus não eram os intérpretes do Milli Vanilli, mas sim outros cantores que apenas cederam as suas vozes para a dupla.
Com isso, o grupo teve que devolver o seu Grammy, e caiu no ostracismo após o acontecido.
Essa seria uma ótima chance de vermos um filme, que além de contar essa incrível história, poderia revelar bastidores do, às vezes, nem tão criativo universo das gravadoras.

MILLI VANILLI станут героями оперы ?
"Это классическая драма, где присутствуют все компоненты, необходимые для оперной интерпретации" - заявляют авторы идеи. - "На переломе двух эпох, когда аналоговая запись уступала место цифровым технологиям, а находящийся в зените славы MTV требовал красивой картинки, произошли события, которые по накалу страстей и драматургии вполне могут соперничать с классическими произведениями. История об "украденном голосе" и смерть одного из главных персонажей в финале - это вам Шекспир и Гёте в одном наборе"...
Пока неясно, осведомлён ли об этой инициативе американцев владелец прав на марку MILLI VANILLI Фрэнк Фариан.
