With the renewed interest in all things Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown has begun re-shopping his self-penned bio-pic...
The script, The Bad Boy of R&B: The Bobby Brown Story, was written by Bobby Brown and Michael A. Pinckney in late 2011 but at the time no studio was interested. Now the script is re-making the rounds.
The Carlton Jordan blog got their hands on the script and the accompanying pitch,
Sex, Drugs, Women and the Original Bad Boy of R&B, a toxic mix. The Bad Boy of R&B is a classic tale of R&B sensation Bobby Brown’s meteoric rise from humble beginnings in Boston to the top of the R&B and Pop charts. His struggle with drugs, alcohol, women and a troubled marriage is a rocky journey and an inspirational one. One of hope redemption and the power of the human spirit. Having already accomplished more as a teenager than most men in a lifetime, Bobby must now face the greatest challenge of his life . . . .Take this emotional journey with the original Bad Boy of R&B as we fully exposes his faults contradictions in this in-depth story of his many triumphs, trials and tribulations. The film exposes Bobby’s darker side and puts his private demons on public display.
Michael Pinckney tells Carlton Jordan,
"We [Bobby Brown and I) actually wrote the script back in November and the movie lightly touches on their life & marriage together. We will now definitely have to go back in and revise the ending of the movie. This is such a sensitive subject which is why we did not push the fact that we have a script for the Bobby Brown story so soon. We definitely wanted to give it some time to disseminate just out of respect to the family, friends and fans of Whitney Houston."
