“Boy Band” will focus on joy

While Levy is expected to produce alongside Reynolds, it is not yet confirmed that he will take on director duties. The view of Jackman and Reynolds are reuniting for the musical comedy is a treat for fans. While Reynolds showcased his musical prowess spirited, play alongside Will FerrellJackman is known for his stage presence and appears in several musical films and Broadway shows. It seems like Reynolds is trying to incorporate these real-life elements into the upcoming film. He explained,

Many boy band members – and there are many – had managers who let them down. They experienced a level of notoriety that would be difficult for anyone, let alone an adolescent, to cope with, exposing one’s self-esteem in front of an audience of screaming people. A kind of stopped cultural development arises. They are forever connected to this time in their lives. This is about people in their 40s and 50s trying to reclaim their lives. I think there’s something beautiful about that. The north star for me as a producer is joy. I feel like cynicism is a shrinking industry and doesn’t have a long shelf life.

No release date for Boy band has already been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates and check out Reynolds and Ferrell Spirited on AppleTV.
