LONDON NHS choir singers have signed a Hollywood film deal to tell their story of success, they announced yesterday.
The Lewisham and Greenwich NHS choir gained fame when they beat pop star Justin Bieber to reach the coveted Christmas number one spot last year with A Bridge Over You.
British producer Julia Verdin, whose past credits include The Merchant of Venice starring Al Pacino, has secured the rights to tell their story.
“We are thrilled that the world will now get to see our incredible story. People will see the massive power achieved when everyone comes together,” said choir co-ordinator and children’s physiotherapist Caroline Smith.
Their efforts were aided by Mr Bieber when he tweeted to his 80 million Twitter followers, telling them to “do the right thing” and help the choir reach the number one spot.
The choir’s debut album Something Inside So Strong will arrive on June 3 on Decca — the same label as Mr Bieber.
