Snoop Dogg Will Star in New Sci-Fi Movie: Report

Snoop Dogg is going to be starring in a new science fiction movie, Variety reported.

According to Variety, the coach of “The Voice” will “star in and co-produce an “original sci-fi” movie called “The Last Man” with Luc Besson.

Variety reported that the movie has a “post-apocalyptic plot” that may be “inspired” by the “Planet of the Apes” and is tied to the 2009 Snoop Dogg song “Last Man Standing.”

“I’ve been a big fan of Snoop Dogg’s music ever since ‘Who Am I,’” Besson said, according to Variety. “We first met 20 years ago, and we’ve always wanted to work together again. We just needed the right project that would excite us both — and this is it, with Snoop in the lead role. I can’t wait to get started!”

Snoop Dogg has starred in a series of films, according his IMDb profile.

They include the movies “Training Day,” “Starsky & Hutch,” and “Baby Boy,” the profile says.

Snoop also has a new album. His album “Missionary” was released on December 13, according to the Associated Press, which called it the rapper’s “milestone 20th studio album.”

“We were just playing on our raw ability, and it worked … But now you’re dealing with professionals who are like perfectionists and skilled at what they do,” Snoop Dogg said of his collaboration with Dr. Dre, which features guest appearances from everyone from Eminem to 50 Cent, according to AP.

Snoop and Sting tackled one of Snoop’s new songs, “Another Part of Me,” in an appearance on “The Voice,” AP reported.

“He asked me to sing a verse, which is difficult,” said Sting, according to The AP. “It’s a different style from the one I normally sing. It’s a very, very rapid rap style, which is kind of challenging for me. But I love a challenge. I played the guitar on the track, so I feel very much a part of it. I think it’s going to be a hit.”
