London, July 1 (IANS) Famous girl band Spice Girls are planning to turn their new West End musical into a major movie.
The band mates – Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham – are reportedly in talks to turn their theatre debut Viva Forever! into a film if it becomes a massive hit, reports dailystar.co.uk.
They have already tasted cinema success in 1997 with “Spice World” and are hoping to repeat that by following in the footsteps of Meryl Streep starrer “Mamma Mia!”, the highest grossing musical of all time.
“The stage musical is hopefully just the beginning. If the West End show turns out to be as successful as expected, everyone is on board to turn it into a movie like they did with ‘Mamma Mia!’,” said a source.
