Hearing the choir for the first time Daniel said: “When the hairs on the back of your neck stand up you know you can’t ignore it. I’ve worked with the UK’s most successful boy band, now I’m working with the original boy band.” Spokeswoman for Universal Classics and the choir Angharad Wynne said: “It really was an amazing chance of fate. What were the chances of Daniel Glatman being at that wedding and hearing the choir sing? “Zygi Kamasa has actually bought the rights to the choir’s story and now has some time to explore and talk with writers and producers and get financing together for a film. “He is thinking in terms of a feature film on the lines of Calendar Girls or Brassed Off (a film about a Northern brass band starring Ewan McGregor).” Mr Kamasa, a producer on Bend It Like Beckham, runs the UK office of Lionsgate Films, one of the largest film companies in Hollywood who won the Best Picture Oscar this year with Crash. He optioned the film rights within days of hearing about the choir. “The story of this choir who were picked from obscurity to be signed by the biggest record label in the world is a classic feel-good story that has huge potential, particularly when you consider that the average age of the singers is 60,” he said. |
