The film will be produced by Voletta Wallace (B.I.G.’s mother), Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts (B.I.G.’s former music managers), Bob Teitel and executive produced by Sean Diddy Combs based on a screenplay by Cheo Hodari Coker and Reggie Rock Bythewood.

The singer responsible for the summer hit Beautiful Girls says : "When I first heard about that movie, it was through management. My management told me about it and you know I had auditioned for it and I met with the director and I nailed it and he gave me a shot now at being in the movie."

Notorious B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace, and his two former managers, Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts, played a key role in casting and were keen to sign-up an unknown star for the coveted role.

Director Tillman says, "Being a huge fan of Notorious B.I.G. as an artist, I’m excited to direct the bio-pic of Christopher Wallace. It’s a truly epic tale. There’s so much to the story that has yet to be told and I am humbled by the journey he took to become a man before his untimely death. This is an amazing opportunity to make an iconic film."

Update : Producers for the upcoming Notorious bio-pic say that Sean Kingston auditioned for the lead role but that the casting call remains opened. You still can post your video and try to get the role :)
