After the success of the New Edition biopic on BET, I couldn’t have been the only one wondering which R&B super group from the 80s and 90s would be next. Turns out I didn’t have to wait too long.
In a recent interview, Mr. Dalvin said that movie about Jodeci’s story is one the way.

“It’s in the works already. Well, they actually started the process last September. We just finished the script and we go into production next month. So we’re looking at problem an end of the year release. VH1 bought the rights. They own the rights so far.”
He posted this bit of the interview on his Instagram page and said that information for casting inquiries would be coming out soon.
Shoot, from what we know about the Jodeci story, if the group members are honest and the production quality is high, there's a good chance this biopic will be a hit. They had more than their fair share of trials and triumph, with plenty of drama in the midst.
