Top of the celebrity gist on the foreign scene this day is the immortalization of the Notorious B.I.G. in the form of TBS scripted series that will be dubbed "Think B.I.G.".
According to the source, TBS is working on a new scripted series that will go by the name "Think B.I.G.". The scripted series will be developed based on the Life and Lyrics of the Hip-Hop/Rap Music legendary, Notorious B.I.G..
"Following the 2009 Notorious biopic, the late Notorious B.I.G. will be immortalized once again in the form of a TBS scripted series. His life and lyrics will be loosely incorporated in "Think B.I.G."."
Think B.I.G. is a scripted series chronicling the misadventures of an inner-city teen desperately trying to create a better future for his daughter and infant son. The plot lines for Think B.I.G. will be loosely based on the lyrics of Notorious B.I.G. The project is being produced and created by Mass Appeal, in partnership with Wayne Barrow of Bystorm Films and Voletta Wallace for Notorious B.I.G. Inc.
Brett Weitz, the executive VP of original programming over at TBS, spoke about why it’s so important to lend the power over to Mass Appeal, saying; "Mass Appeal is a leader in developing unique stories with diverse voices. There’s no better partner for us to connect with this vibrant, impassioned audience."
"The new direction that the good folks at TBS are taking is inspiring and totally akin to our position on popular culture,” said Sacha Jenkins, Mass Appeal partner and chief creative officer. “In essence, Mass Appeal’s strength lies in our ability to articulate the innermost feelings of artists and revolutionaries who are in the throes of their most potent creative moments, in a manner that is true to the creators and the movements they help spawn. I think our marriage will produce programming that will inspire a huge cross-section of people to tune in, interact and, in the case of TBS, laugh their asses off."
We hope this doesn't go down like many others where certain folks (and networks) take a late star’s legacy and run with it. We awaits the turn up of the event.
