Overview
Snoop Dogg has been cast in the upcoming biopic The Legend Of Fillmore Slim.
The film will tell the tale of the blues singer and guitarist, real name Clarence Sims, who was also a pimp in San Francisco in the 1960s and 70s.
US movie website Deadline reports that Ames International, which is headed by Alan Ames, are putting the project together.
“This film will span decades,” said Ames, who was initially approached by Slim's daughter.
“From Slim’s emergence as a musician, to his fascination with the fast life, through his years of incarceration and his redemption.”
Hawthorne James will direct the film. Slim is still performing at the age of 77.
