As BET gears up for a biopic about New Edition, Johnny Gill says he is confident that the biopic might be just what the group needs to reunite and put out new music for the first time in 12 years.
“I have put aside some songs already for New Edition,” Gill told Billboard. “We’re gonna try to have the album ready to go by the time the movie’s out, by 2017 when the movie drops. I’m making plans to start the recording process with that as well.” The film is currently being cast, with some roles already determined but not announced yet.

Gill also offered his thoughts on the biopic, which is due out in 2017:
“I was just disappointed that Denzel [Washington] wasn’t available to play me,” he said. “Actually, I just want somebody who can capture the essence of me, and I think that’s important for all of us in the movie. That’s going to be the most important thing in telling this story is that these actor capture the essence of who we are. We’re hands-on involved as well.”

Gill continued:
“We have to spend time with them. They’re going to spend time with us for a week or two and kinda just get to know us and our personalities and get insight and stuff like that. It’s going to be interesting when it all comes together, but everybody’s gonna get a chance to tell and see what our story’s like. We can’t wait.”
