The long-awaited Bee Gees biopic is starting to gain steam with Bohemian Rhapsody producer Graham King, Paramount Pictures, and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners heading up the still-untitled movie.  Barry Gibb and his sisters-in-law, the respective widows of his late-brothers and bandmates Robin and Maurice Dwina and Yvonne — will serve as executive producers on the film.

Back in 2017 Barry Gibb said in a statement announcing the upcoming production: “This is a wonderful opportunity for our family. I’m personally very excited to be a part of the creative process along with Yvonne and Dwina. It’s another adventure for us and a chance to throw the spotlight on all my brothers and finally the real story of us will be told. It’s an honor to be working alongside the people I most respect. I can’t wait to get started!”
