Girl, you know it’s true. Paramount+ announced today the premiere date for Milli Vanilli, the documentary about the former German-French pop/R&B duo. Check out the trailer.
Apologies in advance if I just put an earworm in your ear. (Paramount+ put one in mine.)
Speaking of the streaming service, Paramount+ has set the premiere date for Milli Vanilli, which recently made its world premiere at the 2023 Tribeca Festival.
The feature-length documentary tells the story of Robert “Rob” Pilatus and Fabrice “Fab” Morvan, who became fast friends during their youth in Germany. With Rob coming from a broken home and Fab having left an abusive household, they shared a similar upbringing and future goal: to become famous superstars. In a few short years, their dreams came true.
In 1989 their first album All or Nothing (released in the US under the name Girl You Know It’s True) went platinum six times in the US, and the hit song “Girl You Know It’s True” sold more than 30 million singles worldwide. Rob and Fab, better known as “Milli Vanilli,” became the world’s most popular pop duo in 1990 and won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
However, their ascension to success came with a devastating price that ultimately led to their infamous undoing.
Milli Vanilli premieres in the US and Canada on Tuesday, October 24, followed by the UK, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria on Wednesday, October 25, exclusively on Paramount+.
The documentary will make its West Coast festival debut at the Mill Valley Film Festival on October 13. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.mvff.com/program/milli-vanilli.
A production of MRC and Keep on Running Pictures, Milli Vanilli is directed and produced by Luke Korem, and produced by Bradley Jackson, MRC, and Keep On Running Pictures in partnership with MTV Entertainment Studios. Hanif Abdurraqib and Kim Marlowe serve as executive producers.
