A film based on the rise and rather bumpy fall of lip-syncing pop outfit Milli Vanilli is getting closer to actually being made, according to Allhiphop.com.

The duo, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, were the darlings of the eighties pop scene for a brief period, of course, until it was revealed they were miming vocals sung by session singers. With their careers over almost over night Pilatus fell into depression and drug addiction, eventually dying of an overdose in 1998.

There has been talk of a biopic telling the Milli Vanilli story for a while now but, according to Allhiphop, German director Florian Gallenberger has now been signed up to make the movie.
