Sony BMG Music Entertainment has picked up rights to the original screenplay Reggaeton, a project produced in conjunction with Jennifer Lopez's Nuyorican Prods and the first to be released under the music company's new film division launched last summer.
The script, written by Albert Lyon, follows an aspiring 21-year-old hip-hop performer from the South Bronx who escapes to Puerto Rico following a mixup with local thugs. On the island, he finds love with a local girl and becomes a rising star of reggaeton, a mixture of hip-hop and reggae.
Likely to be on the film’s soundtrack are a host of Sony BMG Music Entertainment's reggaeton artists, including Voltio, Calle 13, Aleis y Fido, Zion y Lennox, John Eric and M.R.P.
