Ridley Scott reveals the plot details and filming window for his untitled Bee Gees biopic. Based on the real-life story of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb and their rise to fame in the disco music era in the mid-to-late 1970s, Scott was in talks with Paramount Studios about the film last year. Due to a budgetary contract dispute with the studio, it was announced earlier this year that Scott's next movie wouldn't be the biopic.

In an interview with Collider, Scott confirms the filming window and shares some details about his upcoming Bee Gees biopic. The director shared that he's expecting to go into production "in November." He added that he didn't think his dispute with Paramount would affect the project in the long term. In terms of the story, Scott explained that the brotherhood is what he's interested in exploring the most. Read his comments below:

Ridley Scott will soon be down with "Night Fever." At CinemaCon in 2024, it was announced that the legendary Gladiator director would be helming a biopic about brothersBarry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb and their groovy rise to disco stardom in the 1970s as the Bee Gees. However, things haven't been so smooth since then, with Scott placing the project on the back burner in favor of The Dog Stars amid a budgetary contract dispute with Paramount that nearly prompted him to walk away altogether. The film appears to be back on track, though, and during a conversation with Collider's Steve Weintraub celebrating the 20th anniversary 4K Ultra HD release of his 2005 classic, Kingdom of Heaven, Scott opened up about when the flick should be dancing into production.

Scott is a famously fast-working director capable of getting multiple films produced in a year. When asked if he was shooting anything after The Dog Stars,...

In a grim turn of events, two drummers for The Bee Gees have died within less than a week. Dennis Bryon, who played on many of the group’s biggest hits, passed away at the age of 76 on November 14th. Just days later, earlier drummer Colin “Smiley” Petersen died at 78 years old on November 18th.

According to The New York Times, former Bee Gees member Blue Weaver first announced Bryon’s death on Facebook this past Thursday. The two musicians were also in the UK bands Amen Corner and Fair Weather together.

Born in Cardiff, Wales on April 14th, 1949, Bryon started drumming as a teenager and found success in the UK with Amen Corner before joining the Bee Gees in 1973 — just as the band was about to go disco.

Some of the group’s hits featuring Bryon’s percussion include “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” “More Than a Woman,” “How Deep Is Your Love,...

Put on your favorite Bee Gees song. What catches your attention first? In the opening moments of “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” or “More Than a Woman,” before the golden harmonies of the brothers Gibb come in, it’s probably the disco backbeat running through the whole song. And you can thank the late Dennis Bryon for that.

Bryon, who died at age 76 on Nov. 14, according to The New York Times, joined the Bee Gees in the early 1970s and stayed in the band through 1980 — a tenure that matches up precisely with their most successful era.
