VH1 has decided to get into the TV movie business with a series of scripted bio-pics featuring musicians and pop culture icons. The network is looking to follow up the success it had with the scripted series Single Ladies. The first movie will be about ’90s group TLC.

Surviving members Chilli and T-Boz have signed on as consultants and executive producers for the movie. Acclaimed screenwriter Kate Lanier (What’s Love Got To Do With It, Beauty Shop, and Set It Off) has signed on to pen the bio-pic.

“The reality of this brings me to tears because I am seeing one of my dreams come to life. I always felt our story had to be told. What makes it even more amazing is having Kate Lanier on board. I remember watching ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ with Lisa, and I knew then whoever wrote that story had to write ours. I will forever be thankful to Jeff Olde for believing in our story and going the extra mile to make it happen,” said Chilli.

“I’m just overjoyed. I appreciate Jeff Olde and everyone on staff at VH1 that took interest in us, thank you. Kate Lanier is amazing. I’m honored to work with her I love her art. Well here we go on another TLC ride and I can’t wait. Like Biggie said ‘Now if ya don’t know, now ya knowwwww,’” said T-Boz.

The movie will  cover the trio’s success as well as their pains and heartaches. T-Boz’s battle with sickle-cell disease, Lisa burning down her then-boyfriend and football star Andre Rison’s home and the bankruptcy lawsuit will be dealt with in the movie.

I will definitely be watching, how about you?
