Missy Elliott Biopic In The Works *Rapper Missy Elliott is still looking to bring a film about her life to the big screen.
The artist, born Melissa Arnette in Portsmouth, VA, is hoping to produce a film that chronicles her traumatic past and her rise to fame during the 1990s. During her childhood, she was repeatedly raped by an older cousin from the age of eight and saw her mother being abused by her father, who pulled a gun on the pair on one occasion. And after nearly two decades in show business, during which she became the only female rapper to have six albums certified platinum, Elliott says the film project is in the works. "It's happening; I've just got to find a great writer because I wouldn't want my story watered down," she tells Elle magazine. "I went through a lot, and I accomplished a lot, and I want people to know how it all went down." | |

As long as she has the funds to put into it I dont see why she can't. Fantasia's was pretty good. I watched it 3 times. It could be a great tv flick.. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

- No offense to her but Keyshia Cole has a moving coming and supposedly does Aaliyah; I just think there are a lot of folks who deserved movies but never got it; whether it be a made-for-tv movie or not | |

Yeah I've heard of couples who have had volatile relationships but when they realize it's over, they still have a close friendship. | |
