Jack Rooke Developing Spice Girls Film Beyond Music Biopic
Big Boys creator Jack Rooke says he is developing a Spice Girls project with a script written, comparing its ambition to Sam Mendes' four-film Beatles event.
Jack Rooke is developing a Spice Girls project that he says goes beyond the traditional music biopic. The creator of Big Boys confirmed the plans, adding that a script has already been written with a group of collaborators.
Rooke compared the potential film to Sam Mendes' ambitious four-film Beatles event, which has been in production this summer. The comparison suggests a similarly large-scale, multi-part approach rather than a single conventional biopic.
The Spice Girls recently marked the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Spice, and secured streaming rights to their 1997 film Spice World. News of the project was reported by Deadline.
No release date, casting, or studio details have been announced. Rooke is best known as the creator of Big Boys.
