The talks include, actor Michael B. Jordan and Jonah Hill playing as Russell Simmons and Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin respectively.
The film is supposed to be centered around Russell Simmons and Nelson George’s book Sex, Drugs, Money, + God, which sheds light on Russell and Rick’s career and the formation of Def Jam Recordings. The story will show the timeline and upbringing of the culture’s roots to how it became the most dominant voice in today’s generation.
