The film is to follow the group from the time they arrived in London from Australia and had their first number one hit with ‘Massachusetts’ in 1967. The biopic and book news comes after it was previously reported that Bradley Cooper was approached by producers over the possibility of playing the eldest of the Gibb brothers, who enjoyed global chart-topping success with younger brothers Robin and Maurice, in an upcoming flick. He added: “There are things in the book that could never be in the film.” The musician also has an autobiography in the works with his son Ashley, 43, and teased that the tome contains content not suitable for the screen. “It is a million moments, you know – a million moments that change your life in one day.”
“You shall see how I saw the world through my eyes, and there are a lot of things that nobody ever knew about.

Maybe some of the reason we've come to celebrate the Bee Gees rather than ridicule them is that at age 70, Barry Gibb (the oldest of the four Gibb brothers) is the only surviving Gibb brother as twins Maurice and Robin plus younger brother Andy Gibb have already passed away.Barry Gibb has revealed fans of the Bee Gees can expect a biographical film within the next couple of years, which is set to follow the 2020 documentary, ‘The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart’.īarry is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column as saying: “The biopic could be about two years away. If you look real close, you can catch Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi) in Frank Stalllone's on-film band and Patrick Swayze in a dance tryout line. There are a couple of uncredited cameos of people "before they were famous" in Staying Alive. However, Staying Alive was a box office smash, finishing in the Top 10 rankings of 1983 and the soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy and spawned the wonderful hit Far From Over by Sly's brother, Frank Stallone (Yes, I still can't think about that song without thinking of the SNL short with Martin Short/Harry Shearer/Christopher Guest as synchronized swimmers). Staying Alive is a mixed bag of opinions as IMDB only gives it 4.5 rating and Entertainment Weekly declared it the worst sequel ever in 2006. Rhodes was the Ginger Rogers of '80s movies, dancing in Xanadu, Flashdance, Dirty Dancing and Staying Alive.

The video for Someone Belonging To Someone is a mix between performance and movie clips showing Travolta with his new dance love interest - Cynthia Rhodes. Today's song from Staying Alive, Someone Belonging To Someone, only made it to No. and radio and the buying public bailed on the Bee Gees.
In the '80s, the disco backlash began in the U.S. Of the thirty Top 40 hits the Bee Gees scored, the first thirteen were from 1967 to 1972 and were harmonic pop songs, but many only remember their rule over the Disco Era with eight number one songs including a mind-blowing six in a row with songs like Stayin' Alive. I would think by now, everyone has moved past picking on the Bee Gees for their affiliation with the disco era. With the phenomenon that was the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, it only made sense to bring back the Bee Gees to perform on the soundtrack of Staying Alive.
Staying Alive remains the only film Stallone directed but didn't star in, unless you argue about the cameo of Stallone bumping into John Travolta on the streets of New York - which is shown in the video for Someone Belonging To Someone. His foray outside the Rocky movies was Staying Alive, the sequel to Saturday Night Fever. Stallone directed three movies in the '80s, but two of them were Rocky III and IV. Yesterday we examined Sylvester Stallone in front of the screen but today we catch Sly behind the camera and make amends with the Bee Gees with their slow jam Someone Belonging To Someone.
