In the works is a movie about Notorious B.I.G, AKA Biggie Smalls or Biggie. Born name Christopher Wallace.
The project will be a joint effort by Voletta Wallce, the late rapper's mother, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and "Training Day" director Antoine Fuqua....

Wayne Barrow, who still handles B.I.G.'s affairs and manages Mrs. Wallace, said they're in talks with several studios.

Naturally P. Diddy is involved on a creative level. Cheo Hodari Coker, author of "Unbelievable: The Life, Death and Afterlife of the Notorious B.I.G.," has beeen hired to write the screenplay.

The film will focus on Biggie the man, son and father, including little-known tidbits, such as his knack for West Indian cooking. A finished script is expected by summertime. It's also unknown if it will deal with the East Coast-West Coast drama that cost him his life as well as Tupac Shakur's.

So who's going to play Biggie?

"It's going to be challenging to cast a B.I.G.," Barrow told MTV. "We've thrown a few names around, like Big O [actor Waverly W. Alford II] from '8 Mile.' Maybe Anthony Anderson ... because he has the humor. A few people said Guerilla Black, but we don't know how that's going to play out."

And what about the other characters? The roles of Lil' Kim, Faith Evans, Junior M.A.F.I.A. and Sean "P. Diddy-Puffy" Combs will depend upon the size of their roles in the finished script, Barrow said. In fact, the artists may even be invited to play themselves, depending on their availability. (They better make it quick if they want Lil' Kim, she's up for sentencing in a few months!)

The movie could begin filming as early as February 2006.

Should be interesting to see what happens..

I just dont want to see another "soul searching", Revelation around every corner, murder mystery. A movie detailing his life would be cool. And definitely not another VH1 movie cause Michael Jackson's was flippin horrible.

That would be damn hilarious. But if they make one, they have to smash it. I will be heated if it's a bad movie.

How about Guerilla Black with a Shyne voice over. They'd be good to go then.
