Snoop Dogg to star in The Legend of Fillmore Slim

Deadline is reporting the self-proclaimed Doggfather is set to star in a biopic of legendary pimp and blues guitarist, Fillmore Slim. Producer Alan Ames says of the project, “This film will span decades, from Slim’s emergence as a musician, to his fascination with the fast life, through his years of incarceration and his redemption.”

Slim went on to become the Pope of Pimping, and such parallels to Snoop’s own life are obvious, which might make for a potent bit of casting. Of course, Snoop isn’t the greatest actor, as apparent in Bones but he did show a bit of flair in Training Day. Hawthorne James is tapped to direct, with production gearing up for a March start.

Are you ready for the West Coast Godfather of the Game movie?
