"Soul Train" Coming to the Big Screen




Warner Bros. has hired Malcolm Spellman to write a feature based on the classic TV show"Soul Train". Daryl Porter and Aaron Geller of Porter/Geller Prods. will produce with Don Cornelius, the host and producer of the famed show, which ran from 1971-2006.

Spellman said that he's writing a film set in the 1980s."All of the hip-hop street dances you see today were born during that time period and were first seen on that show, and I remember doing all of them when I was a kid," said Spellman, whose credits include "Dead Presidents". Shockingly, Spellman told Variety that the story will be about a kid who dances his way out of a hard life. Who you think they gonna get to play Don or Rosie Perez or Don's wife?
