The Spice Girls are reportedly reuniting to create a jukebox musical movie.<\/p>\n
The girl band have entered ‘advanced negotiations’ for a film featuring their greatest hits, according to reports.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sources say the\u00a0 film will be\u00a0produced by SeeSaw Films and will be\u00a0a coming-of-age story about a Spice Girls superfan.<\/p>\n
The news comes 26 years after the band’s cult classic movie Spice World was released and became a box office smash hit.<\/p>\n
The 1997 flick saw the girls play fictionalised versions of themselves in the lead up to a major concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall.<\/p>\n

Exciting! The Spice Girls are reportedly reuniting to create a jukebox musical movie. The girlband have entered ‘advanced negotiations’ for a film (pictured 1997)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Beloved: The news comes 26 years after the band’s cult classic movie Spice World was released and became a box office smash hit<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: ‘Everyone is very excited about this script but it will be a totally different number to Spice World.<\/p>\n
‘The girls aren\u2019t appearing in it, but it\u2019s essentially a gentle, upbeat coming of age story – a jukebox musical – about a kid who\u2019s obsessed with the Spice Girls.<\/p>\n
‘Style-wise, it is very much like Take That\u2019s recent Great Days movie which was adapted from their stage show. It will be endorsed by the band – all five have signed off on the project- and it will feature several of their songs.’<\/p>\n
MailOnline has contacted representatives of the Spice Girls for comment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
They add that Geri Horner is leading the charge and speaking to the producer regularly and that she is eager to make the film a hit.<\/p>\n
The band will be hoping the proposed film is more successful than their ill-fated\u00a0West End musical, Viva Forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The jukebox musical opened in 2012 and received huge negative reviews from critics.<\/p>\n
It was announced in May 2013 that the show would close after only seven months, with a loss of ‘at least \u00a35 million’ due to poor ticket sales.<\/p>\n
The movie news comes after Geri shut down rumours that the Spice Girls will reunite to perform at Glastonbury next year to mark their 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Ginger Spice, 51, has now denied that the\u00a0Emma Bunton, 47, Mel Brown, 48, Mel Chisholm, 49, and Victoria Beckham, 49,\u00a0are getting back together to headline the Pyramid Stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She revealed that it was never on the cards to reunite for the festival but teased that there might be something coming soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Sunday Times, she hinted:\u00a0‘At some point there will be something.’<\/p>\n
The band last took to the stage in 2019 for an incredible 13-date UK tour however, Posh Spice was absent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Recently it was rumoured that Geri, Emma, Mel B and Mel C have\u00a0provisionally agreed to tour dates in 2024, with previously absent Victoria ‘bringing ideas to the table’.<\/p>\n
A source told The Sun: ‘Victoria will be 50 next year, and the girls turning 30 seems like two \u00adanniversaries too good to miss.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sad news: The movie news comes after Geri shut down rumours that the Spice Girls will reunite to perform at Glastonbury next year to mark their 30th anniversary<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reunite: Reports had claimed that all five original members would reunite in 2024 for a headline slot at Worthy Farm (pictured 2007)<\/p>\n ‘The girls have discussed a documentary which would show never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes footage plus present-day interviews. All five are on board to mark 30 years in some way, shape or form. It\u2019s very exciting.’<\/p>\n The band formed in 1994, with debut single Wannabe reaching the top of the charts in 37 countries in 1996.<\/p>\n The band took a hiatus in 2000 when Victoria left the band and briefly reunited in 2007 for a worldwide tour with tickets for their London O2 gig selling out in two minutes.<\/p>\n Five years later all five members performed at the London Olympics closing ceremony.<\/p>\n
