Casting Couch: Missy Elliott

Universal Pictures announced they'll be releasing a movie about Missy Elliott's life. It'll be produced by Robert De Niro's Tribeca Films. And playing Missy Elliott will be ... Missy Elliott. Which isn't so strange considering how popular 8 Mile was. I just think it'd be more fun if they cast Cate Blanchett. How fucking weird is that Dylan biopic gonna be? The whole Palindromes vibe doesn't appeal to me.

Are there any notable details about her life that are particularly worthy of cinematic treatment? Other than some cool morphing CGI to dramatize her rapid weight loss, that is.

Mark: Other than being one of the first female hip hop stars? Other than creating hip hop music that doesn't suck in a period where most hip hop sucked? Does it honestly matter? A movie is a movie, it's not like if they don't make the movie they are going to put all the money they would have used toward charity. Stop bitching.

Awesome. I'm sure they'll get some uptight british chap to direct (see "Get Rich or Die Tryin'") and premiere it at the Tribeca Film Festival. Oh, and don't forget about the Missy American Express commercial -- "my life is hip-hop, my card..." Wait, don't get me started -- it's a Universal pictures, so I'm sure they're planning Missy's host/musical guest spot on SNL.

Synergy Rules! It's all so gully.
