The Spice Girls will reunite for a film sequel to Spice World, according to sources.<\/p>\n
A film industry source has told The Sun that four members of the band – Geri Horner (Ginger Spice), Melanie C (Sport Spice), Mel Burton (Scary Spice), and Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) – have approached a screenwriter about devising a follow-up to their 1997 film.<\/p>\n
The reported project is to help mark the group’s 25th anniversary next year. The band have reunited on several occasions, including for the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony and a 13-date tour across the UK and Ireland in 2019 without Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), who wished to focus on her family and business.<\/p>\n
According to The Sun, the apparent sequel is being spearheaded by Horner, who is currently managing the group.<\/p>\n
A film industry source told the publication: “The girls have been talking about how to mark the film’s anniversary and are actively considering making a tongue-in-cheek sequel.<\/p>\n
“They have approached a screenwriter who is considering working on the project and making tentative steps forward.<\/p>\n
“It is still in the early stages but they are talking to established names in the business, which proves they are taking a big screen comeback seriously.”<\/p>\n
Spice Girls’ representatives declined to comment.<\/p>\n
The original film starred the band as well as Richard E. Grant, Meat Loaf and Sir Elton John.<\/p>\n
In 2019, Paramount announced an animated film positioning the group as superheroes but it’s believed to have been put on hold.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Melanie C said last January that she thinks Victoria Beckham is “coming around” to the idea of rejoining the Spice Girls.<\/p>\n
She also said that plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Spice Girls’ first single ‘Wannabe’ (released July 8, 1996) are “high on the agenda for us”. (NME)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
