A novel called Hold My Gold: A White Girl’s Guide to the Hip-Hop World written by Albertina Rizzo and Amanda McCall is being turned into a movie, Deadline reports.
The film is being described as a Dummies how-to guide to making it into the music business. It’s based on an A&R who thinks he can turn anyone into a superstar after being challenged by the head of his label.
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, creator and co-executive producer of MTV’s new series Sweet/Vicious, is slated to spearhead the script and executive produce the project. Once the script is finalized, Gold Circle is slated to produce and finance the movie.
