Ridley Scott Officially Confirms Bee Gees Biopic to Begin Filming in November 2025
In a stunning turn of events, legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott – known for masterpieces like Gladiator, Blade Runner, and The Martian – has confirmed that he will begin filming a Bee Gees biopic this November.
The announcement has sent shockwaves through both the film and music worlds, as fans have long speculated about a major cinematic project chronicling the dramatic journey of the Gibb brothers: Barry, Robin, and Maurice.
While the film’s title is still under wraps, insiders reveal that it will explore the Bee Gees’ remarkable rise – from their early days in Australia to their reign as disco kings with timeless hits like Stayin’ Alive, Night Fever, and How Deep Is Your Love.
Notably, Ridley Scott is attached as both director and producer, underscoring his commitment to the project. A source close to the production revealed:
“Ridley doesn’t just want to tell the Bee Gees’ story. He wants to delve into the emotional costs of fame and the brotherhood that powered the music – something few music biopics truly capture.”
Barry Gibb, the last surviving Bee Gee, is reportedly involved as a consultant. He has often expressed his hope that the band’s story would be told with honesty – not just about the glamour and success, but also about loss, pressure, and the intricate family dynamics behind the scenes.
In 2020, HBO released the documentary “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” to critical acclaim. However, this new feature film – under the stewardship of Ridley Scott – promises to be far more cinematic and emotionally resonant.
Casting has not yet been finalized, but rising stars are said to be in talks to portray Barry, Robin, and Maurice. Filming is expected to take place in the UK, Australia, and Miami – cities deeply connected to the Bee Gees’ musical evolution.
If all goes according to plan, the film will hit theaters in late 2026 – coinciding with the 65th anniversary of the band’s founding. With Scott at the helm, industry insiders are already calling it a potential Oscar contender and perhaps one of the most powerful musical biopics of the decade.
