The Spice Girl set to voice own animated movie — Source
THE SPICE Girls are to star in their own animated movie.
Geri Horner, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C are all set to voice characters in an upcoming cartoon adventure and are “fi red up about the idea”.
Plot details are not yet known, but it is believed the movie could be a springboard to a “global” franchise.
A source told Variety: “The Spice Girls are thinking big in terms of a franchise on a global scale. They’re the most successful girl group on the planet. It’s just what Marvel or Disney needs.”
At the heart of the project is the group’s long- standing message of ‘girl power’, and each of the quintet’s animated alter egos will land possess a special girl power which reflects their personality.
The project is currently being shopped around major studios.
Though the ‘Wannabe’ hitmakers reunited earlier this year to work on special projects, they have not yet announced their plans, though talk of a tour has been dismissed.
And it was recently claimed they are planning to launch a TV talent show of their own to fi nd a new global girl band.
Though the Spice Girls will have input into the auditions, they won’t all be on the judging panel at the same time.
An insider explained: “Simon ( Fuller) has formulated the idea of a TV talent show — based loosely on Take That’s ‘ Let It Shine’ which featured Gary Barlow as a judge — which will have a panel that includes one or more of the girls.
“There will then be contributions from the other members depending on where it is being fi lmed.
“Geri has said she wouldn’t be able to commit to judging for six weeks in China but could appear in London or America.
“Meetings have taken place with Nickelodeon about the show.
“Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Emma have had experience of being on TV talent panels but this would be a fi rst for Victoria.” — BANG Showbiz
