90′s R&B legends TLC are getting the biopic treatment in an upcoming VH1 movie entitled Crazy, Sexy, Cool: The TLC Story and the roles of the girls have already been filled by some interesting names.
KeKe Palmer (“Akeelah and the Bee”) has been chosen to play Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, Drew Sidora (“Step Up”) is going to be filling Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins’ shoes and hip-hop star Lil’ Mama (“Lip Gloss”) is going to be taking on the crazy and sadly, tragic life of the group’s unofficial leader, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.
“We really want fans to experience our story in an authentic way,” Chilli said in a press release for the flick. “There is so much to our story that hasn’t been told until this movie, it really has to be done the right way.”
VH1 has taken on TLC’s story many times in different aspects: they’ve done two Behind The Music episodes on the group, as well as aired The Last Days of Left Eye, a documentary which originally was meant to show Lisa’s time while on a 30-day spiritual retreat in Honduras, but unfortunately captured her death in 2002 by way of a car accident.
The movie is set to begin filming in Atlanta, GA next month.
