Full story below…
In a freshly unwrapped address, the 4x GRAMMY winners announced that they have teamed up with production and financing companies Compelling Pictures and Primary Wave to helm a feature film.
Members Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris, and Shawn Stockman, who formed the group in 1991, are on board as executive producers.
A companion long-form documentary, also spearheaded by Compelling, is being developed. It will center on the group’s humble beginnings, and meteoric success in the 90s and 00s,
Morris in a statement on behalf of the group:
“We’ve been waiting to find the right partners who understand our story and are willing to tell it all. Denis and Jeff at Compelling Pictures understood us day 1.”
Compelling’s Denis O’Sullivan (‘Bohemian Rhapsody’) and Jeff Kalligheri (‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’) are producing. They said in a joint statement:
“Having grown up as huge fans of Boyz II Men, and having spent the past couple of years getting to know the guys and become friends with them, it’s a tremendous honor to help bring their unique and untold story to the big screen. We’re excited to show the brotherhood and comradery, as well as the challenges and strife, humor and heartbreak, that has accompanied the unparalleled success that Nate, Shawn, Wanya, and Mike have worked so hard to achieve. And we think the global audience will want to sing along to a sexy, funny, aspirational, uplifting celebration of friendships and artistic partnerships that have stood the test of time. Doom-doom-doom-da-da….”
Primary Wave’s Larry Mestel, also producing, added:
“Boyz II Men are one of the most influential bands of a generation. They are one of the few who transcend genre and format. Primary Wave is proud to expand its partnership with the band and look forward to creating a story with Joe, Jeremy and Compelling that will last forever and reintroduce the band to a new youth culture.”

Nobody gives a fück about Boyz II Men. Square âsşes. Where’s Jodeci’s Documentary of them back in the day?
It’s sad that they don’t get the accolades they deserve they were 1 of the biggest groups of the 90s I don’t know any other rnb guy groups that did their numbers but yet they don’t get honored or anything. They are legends.
Meh. I don’t think it’ll be an honest biopic. Wanya’s ego is too huge for an honest biopic.
