The Spice Girls are finally getting the animated film they were made for

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount Animation has revealed a film slate that includes the long-rumored Spice Girls film, which is currently in early development. As of now, all five members – Melanie “Scary” Brown, Emma “Baby” Bunton, Melanie “Sporty” Chisholm, Geri “Ginger” Halliwell, and Victoria “Posh” Beckham – are on board with the project. Yes, even Posh Spice, who perpetually “has a thing” whenever the rest of her former group mates even whisper about a reunion of any sort, has agreed to be a part of the project, so this must be serious. Simon Fuller, who managed the Spice Girls along with a ton of other high-profile artists, will produce and Karen McCullah and Kiwi Smith (10 Things I Hate About You) are writing the screenplay. The film will involve classic and new songs from the group’s massive discography.
