Mekhi Phifer To Direct Al Green Bio

According to www. MTV.com/movies/news/articles. Mekhi Phifer will direct and star an Al Green Bio. Here are some excerpts form the story on MTV.com.



"I'm putting that together, I'm very excited about it," Phifer enthused. "I've already met with Al Green — shout-out to Al Green, much love to him. I've always been an avid, avid fan of Al Green, his music, his legacy, and just really wanted to portray it to the world."

As Phifer puts together a script expected to include Green's '70s heyday, his religion-fueled decision to turn his back on the business, and a subsequent compromise to blend gospel music with his R&B trademark tones, the 58-year-old singer has been working closely with the star who will portray him.

I can't wait to see that I like Mekhi's acting skills.

The Bee is out!
