Ridley Scott in negotiations to direct film on The Bee Gees

Multiple Oscar winner Ridley Scott is in talks to direct an untitled movie revolving around the iconic pop group The Bee Gees.

For the movie, Scott will reunite with his 'Gladiator' writer John Logan, who will pen the script.


The Bee Gees -- comprising the British Australian trio of Gibb brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice -- rose to fame in the 1960s and '70s with hit songs such as 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,' 'Too Much Heaven,' 'Nights on Broadway' and 'Stayin Alive', which led to the creation of 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack in 1977.

Scott is currently in the post-production stage for 'Gladiator 2'.
