Missy Elliott Had the Perfect Reaction to Joining Cast of Pharrell and Michel Gondry’s Movie Musical: ‘Ayyyyye’
Missy Elliott has joined the cast of the untitled movie music from producer Pharrell Williams and director Michel Gondry.
Variety reported that the Grammy-winning hip-hop superstar will play an as-yet-undetermined role in the film being produced by Williams and directed by Michel Gondry ( Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). The untitled Universal Pictures project set in Skateboard P’s hometown of Virginia Beach in 1977 is inspired by the Atlantis Apartments in Williams’ childhood neighborhood, with a script by Martin Hynes ( Toy Story 4) and Steven Levenson ( Fosse/Verdon). The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is slated to hit the road this summer for her first-ever headlining tour, the Out of This World — The Missy Elliott Experience, on which she’ll be joined by Ciara, Busta Rhymes and Timbaland on a 24-city outing slated to kick off on July 4 in Vancouver at Rogers Arena and hit Seattle, Oakland, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Tampa, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit and Toronto before winding down in Rosemont, Ill. on August 22.
