Their first album was reworked and retitled for its US release as Girl You Know It's True. Despite negative reviews, the duo's success grew worldwide. The first Milli Vanilli Album, All or Nothing, was released in 1988. The duo was fronted by Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus. But my intention is to tell this story from their point of view."įrank Farian formed Milli Vanilli in Germany in 1988. He also said: "Fabrice had always refused to sell their rights he was very cautious of Hollywood after all he'd been through. Jeff Nathanan said: "I've always been fascinated by the notion of fakes and frauds, and in this case, you have 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." They were Charles Shaw, John Davis, and Brad Howell. Their producer Frank Farian revealed that three other artists had actually sung the songs on the album. The German lip-synching duo was stripped of a 1990 Grammy for Best New Artist award after it became known that they had not actually sung on any of their albums. The film also has the backing of former Milli Vanilli member Fabrice Morvan and the estate of Rob Pilatus, who passed away of a drug overdose in 1998. The film is expected to be more of a con story in the mold of "Catch Me If You Can" as opposed to a "Ray"-styled biopic. Nathanson previously wrote the Leonardo DiCaprio crime caper "Catch Me If You Can." The film will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy. The paper reported that the project will be written and directed for the General Electric Co.
Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety reported in it's Thursday issue that Universal Pictures has started development on a Milli Vanilli biopic.
