Pharrell Williams is fighting for independence
Grammy Award-winning Pharrell Williams and screenwriter Kenya Burris (Shaft, Black Comedy) are in talks with Netflix to create the Juneteenth Emancipation Day musical.Juneteenth is one of the oldest American holidays celebrated every year on June 19 to commemorate the official end of slavery in the United States. Despite its long history, relatively recently, Emancipation Day attracted the attention of the white population of the country, and has not yet received the status of a national holiday. The details of the upcoming film are being kept under wraps, but sources say it will be different from the theatrical musical inspired by the holiday, which the duo is already working on. The performer of the hits “Happy” and “Get Lucky” will co-produce the film with Berris. Source: The Hollywood Reporter The Topic of Article: Pharrell Williams is fighting for independence. |
