Fans had high hopes for the live-action movie Josie and The Pussycats, based on the singing group in Archie Comics and a Hanna-Barbara animated TV series. When the film was released in 2001, it bombed miserably, with a box office take less than a third of its production budget. But the soundtrack album did pretty well. The disconnect between the film and the music was evident early in the production.
9. Rachel Leigh Cook’s singing voice was dubbed.
Kay Hanley did the singing parts for RLC since none of the girls really had that much musical talent, at least not enough to be passable.
8. The girls had to go to band camp to at least make it look like they knew what they were doing.
None of them were able to play with any proficiency after the camp but their music was dubbed by Kay Handley and her band, Letters to Cleo.
