John Logan who penned the screenplay for Scott’s 2000 epic Gladiator is said to be the screenwriter. Barry Gibb, the last surviving brother and member of the Bee Gees, will executive produce.
The film will tell the story of the lives and careers of the Gibb brothers: Barry, Morris and Robin.
Born in the Isle of Man, the Gibb brothers grew up in Manchester and immigrated to Australia.
Barry, Morris and Robin formed the band and released their first album in 1965. At the beginning of their career in the late 1950s they sang folk and soft rock songs, but became known as representatives of the disco scene.
After returning to the UK in 1967, they continued to gain huge popularity with a string of hits including How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Jive Talkin’ and Tragedy. Their disco album on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack has sold more than 40 million copies and won five Grammys, including Album of the Year.
Maurice Gibb died in 2003 and Robin Gibb died in 2012.
