Mr. Joel Schumacher is making a film about Barry White. Yes, that’s right – the five-time Grammy Award-winner known for his rich bass voice and romantic image, Barry White. But, it’s not biopic, about his life and career. It’s about something else.
According to Pajiba, Schumacher has The Barry White Story lined up as his next project — but it’s not a biopic. Instead, it’s about (get this) “the ghost of Barry White teaching some loser kid how to channel him to get a girl.”
It is what it is. When I read this, I felt bad for Mr. White. I was like: “Damn, that’s pretty cool. Barry is getting a movie about him a la Ray. Good for him”…But then I kept reading and laughed. This is one of those ideas, that’s so crazy on paper, that it just might work on screen. Who knows? We’ll have to wait a see.
Do you think this would work? Would you watch this? Does White deserve a biopic instead?
