Queen Latifah is preparing to bring her life story to the big screen with a new biopic.
A groundbreaking collaboration was announced in the entertainment industry that brings together multiple powerhouse production companies. Flavor Unit Entertainment, Westbrook Inc., and Jesse Collins Entertainment have joined forces to produce a slate of Hip Hop-based films chronicling the lives and careers of iconic artists.
“We all came into this industry together and Hip-Hop has shaped each and every one of us. Hip Hop’s impact has expanded beyond just music and has created a lasting impression on culture and society overall,” wrote Latifah, a Grammy and Emmy winner and Oscar nominee.
“It is a dream to be able to collaborate with friends and colleagues that have not only a shared understanding, but are able to tell these stories that were the backdrop of our lives.”
Will Smith and Miguel Melendez will produce the movie for Westbrook Studios. It has not yet been announced who will be writing or directing the Latifah project.
Smith added, “When you bring talented people and teams together, you can create something truly special. I’m thrilled to work alongside Flavor Unit, Jesse Collins Entertainment and HarbourView, to highlight the incredible stories of some of our favorite artists and icons. There’s no better story to start with than the one of Queen Latifah, an undisputed legend who has both entertained and inspired us for so many years.”
