Award-winning “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” co-creator and star Rachel Bloom has signed on to pen the script for the Lance Bass-produced upcoming film which ties back to Bass’ famed late 1990s/early 2000s boyband *NSYNC.
The story deals with real life best friends Meredith Sandberg and Winter Byington who spent a summer following *NSYNC on their last world tour in a Winnebago bought with prize money from “The Price is Right”.
TriStar Pictures are developing the project with Cindy Cowan also producing. Bloom says: “I’m so excited to work on this road trip musical that will explore the nature of early 2000’s nostalgia and if the past was, indeed, actually better. Also, I GET TO WORK WITH LANCE BASS!.”
Formed in 1995 and running through 2004, the five-member band has sold over 70 million records and remains one of the best-selling boy bands in history. Their biggest album, “No Strings Attached,” sold over a million copies in one day and over 2.42 million copies in one week – a record it held for fifteen years.
