The photos show them looking strikingly similar to the original band members, wearing a set of contrasting suits. The film co-stars Matthias Schweighöfer, who previously starred in the movie “Army of Thieves,” and who’ll play the role of the band’s producer, Frank Farian. The film will be directed by Simon Verhoeven who also wrote the script. “‘Girl You Know It’s True’ is captivating on so many levels,” said Verhoeven to The Hollywood Reporter. “It not only tells the spectacular rise of two underdogs making it to the zenith of showbiz within one summer, it also gives a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of that illusory world of fame and its sometimes tragic and unscrupulous machinations.

Personally, I think Rob and Fab did not deserve to become the sole scapegoats of this scandal.”At the height of their fame, Milli Vanilli was involved in one of the biggest scandals in pop history.

After achieving great fame and succes in the U.S. and winning Grammy Awards, it was revealed that they were a fake band, engineered by Farian.
