According to The Hollywood Reporter, there is a musical movie in the works inspired by the iconic R&B group Boyz II Men titled, Brotherly.
The film Brotherly will follow a group of men who, according to the synopsis for the movie, “will return to West Philadelphia for a high school reunion 20 years after having gone their separate ways — eventually finding hope, redemption, and a new understanding of the enduring power of friendship.”
The three band members of Boyz II Men, Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman, will be executive producing the project. Malcolm D. Lee, producer of Space Jam: A New Legacy and Girls Trip, is also expected to direct and co-produce the film.
The movie will be written by Marcus Gardley, who also wrote the upcoming musical adaptation for The Color Purple and What’s Going On, based on Marvin Gaye’s life.
