Ridley Scott Delays Bee Gees Biopic Over Paramount Deal Dispute

The director shifted focus to his post-apocalyptic thriller 'The Dog Stars' after disagreements with the studio but anticipates filming the biopic later this year.

Ridley Scott paused production on the Bee Gees biopic, tentatively titled 'You Should Be Dancing,' after Paramount altered the terms of their agreement.
The director stated he was unwilling to compromise on the deal, saying, 'I’m expensive, but I’m f*cking good,' and moved on to another project, 'The Dog Stars.'
'The Dog Stars,' a post-apocalyptic thriller based on a novel by Peter Heller, is set to begin filming in April, with Jacob Elordi replacing Paul Mescal in the lead role.
Scott remains optimistic about resolving the dispute and expects to begin shooting the Bee Gees biopic, which will explore themes of sibling competition and tragedy, by September.
Barry Gibb, the last surviving Bee Gees member, is attached as an executive producer, and the film will highlight the band's working-class roots and their rise to global stardom.
