TLC is heading to the small screen — this time not for a reality show but a made for TV movie produced by VH1!

According to the YBF, yet-to-be titled movie will be produced by famed screenwriter Kate Lanier who’s known for writing “Set It Off,” “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” and “Beauty Shop.” Both Chilli and T-Boz have signed up to consult and produce the biopic.

Chilli was so excited about the project that it brought her to tears, “The reality of this brings me to tears because I am seeing one of my dreams come to life. I always felt our story had to be told. What makes it even more amazing is having Kate Lanier on board. I remember watching ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ with Lisa, and I knew then whoever wrote that story had to write ours. I will forever be thankful to Jeff Old or believing in our story and going the extra mile to make it happen.”

The news couldn’t come at a bette time given T-Boz’s current financial set backs. The singer has filed for bankruptcy and is earning in a little over $11K a month.

Their complete story is set to cover the ups and downs as well as the loss of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez in 2002.

Will you be watching their untold story in the coming new year?
