Erykah Badu has landed a leading role opposite Mos Def in the upcoming indie film, 'Bobby Zero'. The film will be produced by Effie Brown's Los Angeles-based production company Duly Noted and some other big wigs that I don't need to mention.
This is Ms. Badu’s first leading role and will be great exposure and practice for her to get into the Hollywood game like fellow music artists and rappers. The character she will be playing in the movie doesn’t sound like too far of a stretch from her real life. Here’s how the story goes, "Mos Def will play the romantic lead in the story of a down-on-his-luck social satirist who gives up his artistic aspirations to work at an advertising agency. The talented bohemian and his agoraphobic girlfriend ( how the hell did they meet?) hit rock bottom after years of struggling as a couple. To make ends meet, Bobby goes corporate with the advertising job and is confronted by his past beliefs, stepping outside the box and discovering that there the world is not what he expected.
The film is scheduled to begin production in 2009 - sometime after Badu recoups from delivering her third child.
