The stars will reunite with the director of “Deadpool & Wolverine” in a comedy about the reunion of former middle-aged teenage singers
Production details
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reunite with Shawn Levy in a new film. The stars and director of the blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine” prepare “Boy Band,” which follows the story of artists who achieved fame in their youth as part of a boy band and find themselves in middle age. The film, negotiated with Paramount Pictures, will be produced by Reynolds’ Maximum Effort and will be written by him in collaboration with Jesse Andrews (“You, You and Me”).
There is no estimated date yet for the start of filming or release, the project is betting on a modest budget. “I won’t be shooting anything for at least a year. This movie needs to have an extremely modest budget, without focusing solely on paying A-list actors. Shawn, Hugh and I are open to creative ways to make this movie at an affordable price,” he said Reynolds in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Exploring nostalgia
The script will address the impact of early fame on the lives of the boy band members and their attempts to regain control of their lives decades later. “Many boy band members have been let down by agents. They have experienced levels of fame that would be very difficult for anyone to achieve, especially as a teenager,” Reynolds said.
The actor highlighted the central idea of the film. “This situation creates arrested development. They are forever associated with that period of their life. This film would be about people in their 40s and 50s trying to get their lives back. And I think there’s something very beautiful about that. “
With a theme that combines comedy, drama and music, the film promises to capture the nostalgia of the golden years of boy bands while exploring questions of identity and overcoming.
