Backstreet Boys documentary on the way
The Backstreet Boys are set to star in a documentary about their meteoric rise to fame.
The I Want It That Way hitmakers will open up about their time in the pop band for the upcoming tell-all film, to be directed by moviemaker Stephen Kijak.
The project is expected to be completed later this year (13) to
coincide with the 20th anniversary of the group's formation,
according to The Hollywood Reporter.
A statement from the Backstreet Boys reads, "We always wanted to
make a film and now is the ideal time. With... a new album in the
works and our 20th anniversary - it all adds up to being the right
time to share our story."
Kijak adds, "What drew me to this project is their openness and
willingness to push themselves into uncomfortable places, to be
vulnerable and honest and to be really trusting of the filmmaking
team to steer them in the right direction. BSB is getting real and
it has been exciting to work with them as they explore their past
and start to look towards their futures."
