Exclusive: Steven Spielberg added to Paramount's Bee Gees movie after development snafu
When Steven Spielberg learned that Paramount was developing an untitled Bee Gees movie that he thought was going to be made under his Amblin banner, he was not pleased.
While it is unclear how Spielberg was left out of the loop while the project was set up at Paramount, he is one of Hollywood's top filmmakers and revered figures, and few in the industry would dare to cross him. "They tried to get the movie made for 10 years and overwhelmed Barry and the [Bee Gees] estate with a complicated legal document," the source says. "Barry freaked out and wouldn't do it."
According to sources with knowledge of the deal, Amblin sent Gibb a letter on Aug. 12 that formally nullified its offer after the two parties failed to come to an agreement over the rights to the band's story.
