Planning to re-release their 1990s film, the Spice Girls have regained ownership of the Spice World movie.
During The Louis Theroux podcast, Melanie C confirmed the 1997 musical movie is back with its rightful owners and has been re-edited to be re-presented to fans, adding:
“It was a big hit, and it’s not on any streaming services currently.” “It’s not available at the moment. It will be, because there were a lot of people that owned it. It was kind of all over the place.” “So we’ve had to come together. The Spice Girls now fully own it, so we will be presenting it at some point in hopefully the not-too-distant future for people to enjoy.”
Among the many celebrity cameo appearances in the film was the now disgraced comedian Garry Glitter who will be edited out of the revised version. “While the movie was getting edited, we were like, ‘Oh, s***, he’s got to go’,” said Melanie.
Admitting that much if what went on in the movie actually happened in the real world, the now 52-year-old singer stated:
“That was really how we were. That was our experience. You know, we’d been out there, we’d been promoting for a year when we sat down and the movie was being written.” “So a lot of those experiences that are the through line of the movie were the things that we were experiencing.”
While celebrating the 30th anniversary of their former #1 debut single ‘Wannabe,” the iconic girl group – including Mel B (Sporty), Emma Bunton (Baby), Geri Horner (Ginger) and Lady Victoria Beckham (Posh) – there are no plans to mark the occasion with a tour, but the gals have discussed some “great opportunities” for activities outside of the milestone.
About the business aspect, the UK songstress explained “We don’t have them (meetings) often enough because it’s still a business.” “You know, there are still things we have to take care of. You know? We have our trademark, and we have lots of great merchandise out there, of course. This year’s a big anniversary.”
When asked about the anniversary, she insisted “nothing is in the works”. “We want to. Everything is in discussion. But it’s a really positive time for us.” “We’ll see. There’s nothing in the works, so it’s obviously not going to be anything in time for the anniversary. But we are discussing lots of great opportunities.”
Forever a Spice Girl, Mel confirmed that all five of them will be included in everything they do – even Victoria who sat out their last reunion tour in 2019, concluding:
“No one’s left.” “I love it. When I’m doing shows and stuff, and if people want to introduce me, when they say former Spice Girl, I’m really offended.” “Because once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl. I think we all feel like that. There might be times we choose not to work in that arena, but we’re still Spice Girls.”
