- Universal Pictures announced Wednesday that the Supa Dupa Fly rapper will play herself in the big-screen version of her life story. De Niro and Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Films is set to produce the biopic, which is currently in the development stage. Elliott's manager, Mona Scott, will also shoulder some producing duties, according to Variety.
Elliott, 34, previously appeared in Honey with Jessica Alba, but this will be her first top-billed role.
She started off performing in the all-girl group Sista in the late '80s before joining up with childhood pal Timbaland, with whom she formed an enduring songwriting and production partnership. The pair contributed nine tracks to Aaliyah's 1996 album One in a Million, cementing their rep as an R&B force to be reckoned with. (Source)
I'll keep my fingers crossed that the movie covers Baby Girl, who deserves a mention.
