The RZA Says Two ODB Films In Development

In an interview with The Playlist, The RZA revealed that there are not one but two projects currently in development about the life of the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

The RZA explained: “There’s ‘Dirty White Boy,’ [starring Micheal Kenneth Williams] which is about the manager of ODB, and his last two years. And there’s another one with a working title called, ‘Dirt: One Word Could Change The World,’ that his family is more involved with. His mother is involved with ‘Dirty White Boy.’ I’m involved with both, anything about his life, I want to help out with any capacity. His mother told me I should come in and help.”

Dirty White Boy will tackle the later years of the Wu-Tang rapper’s life while Dirt will be more of a coming of age story.

RZA added on the latter project: “Me and [ODB] ran through this city, man, cutting school, stealin’ pretzels from the hot dog stand, being vagabonds, sleeping on the trains, drinking ’40s on the back of the A Train, rapping, getting chased by the police. It’s a coming of age story that me and him and a few of our cousins went through, Then it goes on into finally becoming Wu-Tang, going through that hell. And then it takes on his side of it, not my side.”
