Ever since the Oscar win, Three 6 Mafia has been in mainstream rotation like never before in their career. Although the group’s roster has fluctuated over the years, Juicy J and DJ Paul who are also producers, have remained a constant.
The duo revealed that they plan to do a film similar to Ray, where they would tell their life story.
"It's like the Temptations story. We're gonna do the whole story of how this group became," Juicy J said. "This is like a true story. Some people make films 'inspired by,' but this is gonna be a true Three 6 Mafia Hollywood story. It's gonna show us from when we started the group, to the ups and downs to getting with record labels and everything that we went through, then getting to this point."
They went on to say that they are planning an A-list of actors to portray the characters in the film.
"It's gonna be the real deal," Juicy J continued. "We wanna get real actors to play out [stet] parts. We want it to be a real interesting movie, and not have people look at it like another 'rap movie'. We're gonna go back to what really went on with Three 6 Mafia up until now and winning the Oscar man."
The duo did not reveal a specific studio that the film will be produced by, but they revealed having different options available to them and that it would be a big budget feature. In addition to this film, they are also shooting two indie films, Streets Of Memphis and Choices III, and will debut their MTV reality TV series, Adventures In Hollywood, March 14.
Even though they have a lot going on in film, they are still dropping a new album titled Last 2 Walk, which will include collaborations with Chamillionaire, Lyfe Jennings, Paul Wall and Lil Keke, among others and is expected to be released in April.
