New Take That movie musical The Greatest Days

Rehearsals have started for the new movie musical Greatest Days which is loosely based on the stage production The Band, featuring the tunes of Take That. The film is directed by Coky Giedroyc (How to Build a Girl) with a screenplay penned by Tim Firth and choreography by the award-winning Drew McOnie (Jesus Christ Superstar).

The film  follows a group of school friends who reunite later in life and reminisce about the five-piece boy band that brought them all together. No  casting  or release date have yet been confirmed. 

Drew McOnie took to Twitter  saying: "Up and at ‘em!! FINALLY it's the first day of rehearsals for the Greatest Days. I can't wait to go full boy band to the brilliant Take That music with superstar associate Ebony Mollina. Ooooof can happily report that the boys in the band of Greatest Days movie are not messing around! So inspiring. I can't wait till we can talk about who they are so I can post videos of the studio time"

Molina has worked with McOnie on a variety of projects including The Wild Party at The Other Palace, Jekyll and Hyde at the Old Vic and, more recently, Carousel at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.
