Rapper Wiz Khalifa is set to resurrect his acting career by starring as Parliament frontman George Clinton in the upcoming biopic Spinning Gold. The movie, which is currently in the production stage, tells the story of Casablanca Records’ head Neil Bogart.

According to reports, the movie made several other cast additions besides Khalifa, including singer/songwriter Tayla Parx as Donna Summer and R&B star Ledisi as Gladys Knight.

Spinning Gold already stars Jeremy Jordan as Neil Bogart and has Bogart’s son Timothy Scott Bogart writing and directing. The biopic is in the making since 2011, and has seen several delays and cast changes since. At one point, Justin Timberlake and Samuel L. Jackson were attached but had to move on due to delays.

Bogart is considered an iconic record executive who had a lasting impact on music. He founded Casablanca Records in 1973, with the legendary rock group KISS being his first signing. The label later added more prominent music acts to its roster, including Donna Summer, Lipps, Inc., Parliament, Village People, and others.

Spinning Gold will be Wiz Khalifa’s first movie appearance since 2012’s Mac & Devin Go to High School. Khalifa worked more frequently on television, having a voice role on animated sitcom Duncanville and appearing in comedy Dickinson in recent years.

Emily Dickinson’s life is being adapted to the screen in an upcoming series set to air on the new streaming service Apple TV+ and it brings at least one surprising actor. Wiz Khalifa is set to portray the role of Death in the series called Dickinson.

The series will star Hailee Steinfeld as the young poet in what is described as a “darkly comedic coming-of-age story. The story features modern-day music and language while being set in the 19th century.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Steinfeld is thrilled by this casting. Death is supposed to be the young poet’s creative muse or even a kind of a lover. “I’m a huge fan of him in general, so the fact that we were able to get him to do the show was so exciting and he loved the idea of it,” she said. According to Steinfeld, the participation of Wiz Khalifa is “different and weird and interesting and exciting” and it makes the show the same. 

Alena Smith, the show’s creator, said that she had Wiz in mind while she developed the character. “We had a creative meeting of the minds in approaching the character, and his playful spirit fit in perfectly with the mischievous tone of the show,” said Smith.

The series will be available from November 1 on Apple TV+.
