Boyz II Men formed in 1985 and had hits like "Motownphilly," "It's So Hard to Say Tomorrow," "End of the Road," "I'll Make Love to You" and "On Bended Knee" that became a standout musical sound in the '90s.

Group members Stockman, Nathan Morris and Wanya Morris serve as executive producers alongside Ori Allen, Dennis Casali and Steven Garcia.

"We were hoping to find the right partners who understood our story and were willing to tell it all," Nathan Morris said in a statement. "Dennis and Jeff at Compiling Pictures understood us from day one." The team added compellingly: "It's been a great experience growing up a huge fan of Boyz II Men and getting to know and befriend the guys over the years to help bring their unique and untold stories to the big screen." Honors. We are excited to showcase the brotherhood and camaraderie, as well as the challenges and struggles, humor and sadness that Nate, Shawn, Vanya and Mike work so hard to achieve."

Compelling upcoming feature film projects include The Collaboration starring Paul Bettany and Jeremy Pope. Musical biopics remain a top priority for Hollywood following recent hits such as Paramount's Bob Marley: One Love. A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, will be released in theaters next month, while biopics on the Beatles, Madonna, the Bee Gees, Queen Latifah and Sublime are also in the works.
