Stayin’ alive.
Bohemian Rhapsody pulled in massive amounts of crowds at the box office and now the maker of the film, Graham King, wants to pull out all the stops for the Bee Gees.
The producer announced the news to Entertainment Weekly, saying that the musical biopic will “follow the world-renowned English-Australian group’s rise to fame after their humble beginnings in 1958.”
Mr King has also “purchased the life rights to the Gibb family estate, and thus will be able to use the group’s biggest hits in the movie.”
The Bee Gees were made up of three brothers, Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. They first formed in 1958, becoming especially successful in the 60s and 70s.
Some of their most known hits include Staying Alive, More Than A Woman and Night Fever.
They sold more than 220 million records worldwide and are credited for reviving the dying disco craze with their soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever.
Maurice died at the age of 53 in 2003, while Robin died in 2012 at the age of 62 after a long battle with cancer and other health problems. Barry is the only surviving member of the group.
