Lance Bass weighs in on the possibility of a *NSYNC biopic—and here’s where it gets interesting—he’s making it clear that such a project will only move forward if he’s in the producer’s seat. And not only that, but Lance already has a vision for how to tell the band’s story. We caught up with him at LAX on a rainy Friday afternoon, and our photographer brought up the hot topic: a biopic that’s been floating around but hasn’t yet gained traction.
Lance admits that a *NSYNC film might still happen eventually, but he’s also upfront about the major obstacles in its way. If it does come to life, he’s uncertain about who should be cast to play him—joking that he needs to brush up on the younger generation of actors first before confidently making a choice.
We previously reported that the project hit a snag because the band members weren’t convinced by the initial pitch or the producer involved. The idea was brought to the group by Justin Timberlake’s manager after Neal H. Moritz, known for producing the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, started shopping it around.
But Lance is firm—he’s not interested unless he’s in the producer’s chair. That’s his non-negotiable.
During our chat, we also asked Lance about what he considers the most dramatic moment in *NSYNC’s history that should definitely be included in the biopic. His answer? A particularly complicated and intense legal dispute that stands out as a pivotal, if messy, chapter.
And this is the part most people miss: the story of *NSYNC isn’t just about the hits and the fame—it’s also about the behind-the-scenes battles that shaped their legacy. Do you think Lance’s insistence on being a producer could actually help craft a more authentic story, or is it just a way to keep control over their narrative? Share your thoughts—would you watch a biopic made by Lance himself, or is it better left to someone else?
