P Diddy to produce Notorious BIG movie
Published Tuesday, Aug 14 2007, 12:22 BST | By Kimberley Dadds
P Diddy has signed up to be the executive producer on the biopic about murdered rapper Notorious BIG.
The hip-hop star will work alongside BIG's mother Voletta Wallace and director George Tillman Junior on the project, which will tell the life of the music legend.
BIG, real name Christopher Wallace, was killed in 1997 in a drive by shooting in Los Angeles.
It was also revealed this week that open auditions will be held to find the person to play the lead because producers couldn't think of anyone suitable that is in Hollywood already.
