\n\tWhile the four-part Beatles biopic is underway<\/a>, another British pop invasion could get the big-screen treatment next.<\/p>\n

\n\tBig Boys creator Jack Rooke<\/a> recently teased that he\u2019s developing a \u201cfun comedy drama\u201d about the Spice Girls<\/a>, having written a script with \u201ca lovely little group of gals and gays\u201d that he hopes to get into production.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know how much I can say, but yes, I have been developing something that is, I would say, more than a music biopic<\/a>,\u201d he revealed on BBC Sounds\u2019 Sidetracked<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s like a sort of fun comedy drama.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRooke added, \u201cSo, there has been a script written with me and a lovely little group of gals and gays. But that\u2019s all I can say, and we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on with it. Maybe one day, if people would like to watch that, that would be amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tExplaining that the British girl group was the first time he saw \u201cworking class women be ambitious in British pop culture,\u201d Rooke reasoned that a Spice Girls biopic would be just as culturally significant as Sam Mendes\u2019 The Beatles \u2014 A Four-Film Cinematic Event, which has been in production this summer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m like, if we\u2019re gonna have these four films about the Beatles, then I do think we need a big comedy romp about the Spice Girls, but that is me,\u201d quipped Rooke. \u201cI\u2019ve said too much. But that would be my dream and desire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRooke\u2019s update on the project comes after the Spice Girls marked the 30th anniversary of their debut album Spice last week, having recently secured streaming rights<\/a> to their hit 1997 musical comedy Spice World.<\/p>\n
