It's about dang time!
The Godfather of Soul passed away in 2006, and although we ain't seen a movie about him YET, you betta believe the rights to his biopic were snatched up IMMEDIATELY, by Paramount Pictures and Spike Lee. Hooray!
Spike Lee is insisting that Wesley Snipes play Brown. Risky casting choice considering Snipes' last SIX movies were straight-to-DVD, and he's currently awaiting an appeal for his case of tax-evasion, for which he might go to prison for several years. Hurry up, Spike!
So what... we have a soft spot for Snipes ever since Noxeema Jackson. We're also big on second chances and huge comebacks. Those are always inspiring.
(Are you listening Joaquin Phoenix?)
Anyhoos, Snipes won't be singing, so don't expect a total trainwreck. He'll be lip synching. And they have reportedly given small roles to all 15 of Brown's illegitimate children who surfaced after his death.
Naaahhh... just playin'.
No word yet on the release date, but we'll keep you posted.
