Pharrell Williams, Michel Gondry Scrap Their Movie Musical at Universal in Postproduction (EXCLUSIVE)


"Golden," a movie musical based on Pharrell Williams' childhood, will not see the light of day after filmmakers hit creative impasse.

It boasts a heavyweight cast of chart toppers and an Oscar winner, including: Kelvin Harrison Jr., Halle Bailey, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Brian Tyree Henry, Janelle Monáe, Missy Elliott, Quinta Brunson, Anderson .Paak and Jaboukie Young-White. “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 Gondry told Variety in a joint statement. The studio is home to more overall deals than any of its competitors, including first look and exclusive pacts with Jordan Peele, Amy Pascal, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, LeBron James, Will Packer, Judd Apatow and The Daniels to name a few.
