TIMBALAND BRINGING PABLO ESCOBAR TO THE BIG SCREEN
Hip-hop mogul TIMBALAND is working on a biopic of late Colombian drug lord PABLO ESCOBAR, which he predicts will become a bigger cult hit than AL PACINO movie SCARFACE. The 35-year-old hitmaker is confident his magic touch, which has secured a string of global hits for artists including JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, AALIYAH and MISSY ELLIOT, will take Hollywood by storm. He says, "I'm doing a movie. I don't know how much I should tell you yet. It's gonna be as big as Scarface. It could even be bigger than Scarface. It's going to be about a great drug lord. A real drug lord." Escobar made so much money from the cocaine trade at the height of his power in 1987, he was listed by Forbes magazine as the seventh richest man in the world. He died in 1992 during a shootout with Colombian security forces.

if you are going to make a movie about one of the must powerfull persons ever
and an idol for a lot of people of Colombia you need to get real colombians and
real people from the streets of colombia that think and act as people that work
for Mr.Pablo no white boys like justin timberlake or rappers liky missy ( no
disrespect) but the only reason why scarfece was a big hit was because of the
people that was in it AL PACINO(The Godfather) .
Timbaland belive this,. If you make a movie about one of the must respected
people of COLOMBIA u dont want to have a singer from n-sync or rappers because
MR. PABLO wasnt about that , and if you do such a thing it would look like it
was a joke for you and that my friend is not good , because a lot of people
would say that nobody is allowed to mess w/ the memory of there Idol . like a
lot of people says ANGEL or DEVIL (ANGEL o DIABLO) for the 80% of the people of
colombia he was an ANGEL for the other 20% he was the DEVIL but still an ANGEL
because he help so many people , so becarefull who you chose for your roll i
bet it will be the biggest hit in the movie history but if you choose the rigth
artists , and if you need some help finding some people that really looks real
let me know i would hook u up w/ real old school Colombians that really know
how was everything in the times of Pablo's no young punk ass Colombian
gansters wanna be.
Let me know if you really want to have your name in history like Mr. Pablo
Escobar for the person that really bring the live and power of Pablo Escobar to
the Big Screen , and please dont get me wrong i'm not telling you how to handle
your bussines its just a comment.
