Talk about a musical biopic!
“Happy” singer Pharrell Williams is developing a big screen musical about his life.
Pharrell and his partner Mimi Valdes will be producing Atlantis, the story on his life. Pharrell will be teaming up with Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer. Martin Hynes has been tapped to be the screenwriter.
The movie has been described as a musical “Romeo and Juliet-style story inspired by Williams’ childhood in Virginia Beach, Virginia.”
Casting has not been announced yet.
Pharrell also recently produced the Oscar-nominated movie Hidden Figures, based on the real story about three African-American female National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) employees, who helped astronaut John Glenn become the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962.
