Soul Train Movie Is Rolling Down the Tracks
Wow a Soul Train Movie. What in The Hell can this movie be about? I guess they could put the jabbawockeez in the Movie Or even better they could g
et Ozone and Turbo from Breakin and then maybe I would go see it.Do you remember when they had artist on the show, the artist would lip sync their songs. Are they going to dub actor voices in the movie to keep it real?
Hollywood really needs to try and come up with something original. Shit they could make a movie about my life. I would work for points on the back end. But money talks and if you can make it cheap and turn it into a profit then I guess they will go for it. And no Dancing movie will EVER be Better then Breakin'!
Warner Bros. has hired Malcolm Spellman to write a feature based on the classic TV show "Soul Train."
Darryl Porter and Aaron Geller of Porter/Geller Prods. will produce with Don Cornelius, the host and producer of the famed show, which ran from 1971-2006.
Spellman said that he's writing a film set in the 1980s.
"All of the hip-hop street dances you see today were born during that time period and were first seen on that show, and I remember doing all of them when I was a kid," said Spellman, whose credits include "Dead Presidents."
Protag comes from the L.A. hood, and his ticket out is his gift for "popping," a street dance that became popular in the period. Cornelius told Spellman he'd always wanted to mount a tour with bands and dancers, and the writer will make that fictional tour a centerpiece of the film.
"This guy is a serious popper, with street edge, and he wants to get on that tour, with the hottest of the hot," Spellman said. "Writing with Don involved is quite an experience. He's still the godfather of cool."
