The buzz around the *NSYNC biopic is officially over. Sources have revealed that the project never got off the ground because the band members weren’t convinced by the initial pitch or the producer involved.
Reports indicate that the idea was brought to the band by Justin Timberlake’s manager after Neal H. Moritz, known for the “Fast & Furious” franchise, showed interest. However, the group felt Moritz wasn’t the right fit, and this led to an impasse.
Despite the hopeful start, discussions about the film never made it to the scripting stage. The band had a collective conversation, and they agreed to look for other producers—but only after committing to a reunion tour. Justin Timberlake, however, wasn’t ready to dive into that just yet.
Interestingly, all five members of *NSYNC have stated they want to have equal say in any film project involving their story. Justin emphasized that if the movie moves forward, it should include all of them as producers. This sentiment reflects a strong sense of unity among the group, emphasizing that each member’s participation is crucial.
Around the same time, members Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick have been exploring plans for their 30th anniversary. They even discussed a potential arena tour, although without Justin’s involvement, plans remain uncertain.
Data from a recent survey conducted by a music industry analyst revealed that 56% of *NSYNC fans are eager for any type of reunion, whether it’s a tour or a biopic. This enthusiasm reflects the enduring legacy of the band, showcasing the strong connection between the members and their fans.
