Take That fans listen up, you’re about to relive a concert of your favourite childhood boyband. How, you may wonder? The answer is right there: In a musical. Greatest Days is about to be produced by UK producer-distributor Elysian Film Group. Although the release date remains uncertain as shootings are set for later this year, the concept seems promising enough to get us hyped.

So, what’s this all about then? The movie is based on the UK stage musical The Band. In the film, a group of five 16-year old girls from North-West England are obsessed with a fictional boyband, the songs of said boyband are no other than legendary Take That hits. The story then jumps forward in time to show the girls’ lives years later.

But how exactly are Take That involved? Rumour has it that the project has buy-ins from Take That, and apparently them recording an original song for the movie is also in the talks. 16 Take That hits were used in the stage version, songs that are listed to be included in the movie are Patience, Back For Good, A Million Love Songs, Shine, Relight My Fire and Could It Be Magic. In an interview with Deadline, producer Danny Perkins spilled that “Take That are very much involved in it. They’re excited about the idea of the film and are involved at every step.”

“The Band was a special night out and we hope this can be the same. We hope it will be just what people want to see on the other side of the pandemic. It’s about people coming together, it’s nostalgic, it’s about the music that you love at 15, and being in touch with your teenage self. It’s a feel-good movie which we hope will bring joy to people. There are more serious things to be concerned about right now but hopefully this can bring some joy once it can get going”, Danny Perkins hopes.
