In other news, Wiz Khalifa has been confirmed to play Parliament leader George Clinton in a new Casablanca Records biopic.
As reported by Deadline, Spinning Gold, a film about Casablanca Records chief Neil Bogart, is currently in production. The film will chart the rise of the Bogart’s Buddah and Casablanca labels during the 1960s and 1970s.
Spinning Gold has been in development for over a decade. Justin Timberlake was in talks to play Bogart as far back as 2011.
Director Timothy Scott Bogart said in a statement obtained by Deadline: “Spinning Gold is about a group of people who, once upon a time, lived a fairytale and made their dreams come true, all set to some of the greatest music ever pressed in vinyl. Bringing these dreamers and artists to life has been the privilege of my life.”
Meanwhile, Khalifa has released a 10-year anniversary deluxe edition of his debut album ‘Rolling Papers’. The release includes a previously unreleased version of ‘Hopes & Dreams’, featuring a verse from late rapper Nipsey Hussle.
