Pharrell Williams Says ‘There Wasn’t a Path Forward’ for Canceled Musical Biopic


‘Golden’ was in the early stages of post-production before it got canned.

A musical biopic about Pharrell Williams ’s childhood is no longer moving forward; it seems it was a mutual decision made by the producers of the film. “When all of us got into the editing room we collectively decided there wasn’t a path forward to tell the version of this story that we originally envisioned,” Williams and director Michel Gondry ( Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind) explained in a statement to Variety on February 7. Starring Kelvin Harrison Jr., Halle Bailey, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Brian Tyree Henry, Quinta Brunson, Janelle Monáe, and more in undisclosed roles, Golden was set to follow Williams as a young man growing up in Virginia Beach; Empire has the only first look available for the film.
