Twentieth Century Fox is developing a film about the life of the first Def Jam recording artist T La Rock.
Fox acquired the rights to Joshuah Bearman’s GQ article about the life of T La Rock, upon which the film will be based.
Academy Award-nominated producer Mike Medavoy, Joshuah Bearman, Benjamin Anderson, Jake Stein, Josh Davis and Bonnie Timmermann, along with Def Jam founder Russell Simmons will produce the film.
