‘Style-wise, it is very much like Take That’s 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.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives of the Spice Girls for comment.
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.
