Hip-hop artist and music producer Timbaland is developing an autobiographical musical called “Opera Noir,” based on his upcoming final album of the same name.
Tim Mosely is partnering with Leftfield Pictures to develop the special event, which will follow a young musician’s rise to the top and hardships along the way — including struggles with poverty, substance abuse and crime.
Timbaland helped mastermind hits for such music superstars as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Missy Elliot, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake and more. He is also responsible for the music on Fox’s hit musical drama “Empire.”
