With the success of biopics like Straight Outta Compton, this movie has the chance to not only entertain audiences, but to tell the story of one of the genre’s greatest trailblazers.
No word on when the feature will debut, but Michael Larnell will direct, and Whitaker will be joined in production by Nina Yang Bongiovi, Mimi Valdés, and Erica Brady.
