Back in the 80's the boy band phenomena was slightly different than the current batch, there was no Backstreet or N'Sync rivalry, no hordes of clones pounding sappy pop over the airwaves. Throughout that decade one group dominated and had no equal - the one and only 'New Kids On The Block' with hits like "Hangin' Tough", "The Right Stuff" & "Step by Step". Now whilst talking with CosmoGirl, ex-member Joey McIntyre revealed "They're actually trying to get a film off the ground as we speak. Not a telemovie or anything, a big-time feature film, based on our sudden bash of fame and eventual disappearance from the scene. I'd love to play myself. But I doubt that's going to happen - when their's plenty more better looking, younger [laughs] actors out there. But I hear Donnie [Wahlberg] is insistent he's the only person good enough to play him. The only one of us that is honest enough to admit his shortcomings is Jordan though, and I think they're talking to Freddie Prinze Jr about that role". Makes you wonder if Donnie's bro Mark will cameo.
