CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND Creator Rachel Bloom Developing *NSYNC Super-Fan Best Friend Film for Sony
Rachel Bloom, co-creator of the series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, is developing an *NSYNC super-fan film at Sony. Bloom will write the script for the movie, based on a story by Lance Bass, *NSYNC band member and producer, about two “real life best friends Meredith Sandberg and Winter Byington, who spent a summer following *NSYNC on their last world tour.”
Bloom said of the project:
“I’m so excited to work on this road trip musical that will explore the nature of early 2000’s nostalgia and if the past was, indeed, actually better. Also, I GET TO WORK WITH LANCE BASS!”
Bass will produce and work closely on the project. This will be a fun film, and it’s cool that it is based on two real-life fans and friends. I wasn’t a huge boy band fan as a teen, but I did like *NSYNC better than the rest, and learned the “Bye, Bye, Bye” dance at camp one year (Thanks Jess!). This will be a nostalgic blast from the past for lots of people my age, and I am looking forward to it!
