TIMBALAND REFUSES TO APPEAR IN MISSY’S BIOPIC

Tuesday, July 18, 2006

tim1.jpgThe planned biopic of Missy Elliott has been dealt a severe blow after her close friend and collaborator Timbaland refused to be included in the project. The hip-hop/R&B producer, who is the creative driving force behind Elliott’s biggest hits, is convinced he would be misrepresented if he allows script writers to dramatise his relationship with the “Get Ur Freak On” rapper.

He says, “I don’t want to be in the movie. For me that movie is all about her. You couldn’t make that movie and put my side of the story in it too. Missy’s life… It’s deeper than a rap story, there’s a lot of parts. I don’t think it’d work if you start putting other people’s stories in too.

I respect Tim for that. He should stay true to his beliefs and not sell out for a few dollars.

That sounds pretty selfish if one were to ask me. But oh well, like was said, who wants to see a biopic about Missy anyway?!?!

Why would their be a movie about Missy’s life?

@ 11 - Because someone was foolish enough to care.

I think Missy dealt with poverty and some abuse issues throughout her child hood. So maybe it would be interesting as a Lifetime/vh1 type thing. But I agree with Timbo because it is not supposed to be a star studded biopic. It’s a dramatic tale. Also maybe we will see her coming out of the closet as well.

I don’t blame him. people do tend to go beyond the truth and like he said its her movie not his. but if they are friends and he does have a whole lot to do with her career maybe he can reconsider on certain circumstances. im out beotch!!!

I’m feelin wat he sayin, If they makin a movie about Missy, let it be bout her, I do think he needs to be represented in some form. Hell everytime I think of Missy I think of Timbaland

Timbo played an important part to her career. Together they made missy. His not willing to participate in the movie will damage the production. Who will she name as the the person that placed her on the map dealing with the rap game.

It appears to me he is upset about something..

Timbaland has played a BIG role in Missy’s career. I guess they are on the outs. The only thig I wanna know is if she prefers males or females. I do not know if a whole movie on her would be interesting.

oh good lawd some of you…no words..what he did was to salvage his integrity and his own relaionship w/her. Obviously he has his own story to tell and didn’t want that to overshadow her biopic. ginuwine, tim and missy all have sordid pasts..they probably couldn’t add him w/out telling info he may not be comfortable with getting out as well.

Missy is from Portsmouth, Tim is from Norfolk. They didn’t hang together until late teenage years. Tim didn’t step foot in P-town until he came back with Missy riding through the projects trying to shine. That’s why they get NO love in their hometown. That’s why they rep other places. They used to go to the radio stations and blast us for supporting other artists that are not from here originally. But the truth is Pharrell, the Clipse, Teddy Riley, and a few members of Blackstreet are very supportive in all the cities around here. Giving time and money to worthy causes and NOT trying to shine. No one cares about people who don’t show no love or support. Missy likes to come to her old high school to shine, she don’t donate shit. She has a house waaay out in Va. Beach. She can’t step foot in Ptown for real. She came back this year to receive a Portsmouth notables award with about 100 bodygaurds….for what? The news didn’t even cover that story. She’s a loser in my book. Missy was not impoverished by any means. Listen to the lies, but I know the truth. Believe what you want. Teddy Riley is not even from Portsmouth, but he helps out in every city around here donating TIME and MONEY…and he’s allegedly broke. Tim is doing right by staying far away from this ‘hollywood’ act because the only real thing in the movie is going to be that her name is Missy. She doesn’t owe us anything and doesn’t have to rep VA at all, but I be damned if she is going to try to play the “whoa is me” act.

I think we heard most of her story from being a class clown, to being raised by an abused single mother, hooking up with one of the biggest R&B members (DeVonte Swing from Jodeci) only to be disappointed, experiencing the lost of Aaliyah, and having to lose weight for health reasons. Other than that, all she could share with us is that she likes females and that would be a rap.

He probably has HIS OWN biop movie or something similar and does not want to give up his story for free I guess.
Sounds feasible.

I’m not sure if this is true or not but a couple years back I heard Missy had a baby by Timbaland. Maybe thats why he didn’t wanna be in it. I like some of Missy’s music but when I watched her reality show she was just a bitch. Excuse me for the language but she was rude and snobbish.

@11 - I was wondering the same thing. Missy cool and all, but I wonder what makes her life interesting. I hope there is something or it should go straight to video.

I guess I’m that 1 person who would be interested in watching the “biopic”. Assuming that it was on tv. Wouldn’t go to the movies to watch it.

It’s woe is me #23

Her VH1 behind the music is good enough for me.

I don’t blame Timbo it’s not just her biz it’s his biz going out there too. It sucks for Missy but I understand his POV.

Ms Kind bitter much? Him and Aaliyah won’t have the same story as him and Missy so y you so eagar for him to get left out of her story.

I swear…then you typin kind behind everything you say…

WTF has she been doing lately that she deserves this film anyway? Robert DeNiro must be pretty bored. She had that reality TV show and what came out of that? I won’t talk negative about her creativity but she is really on her own bra strap.
#23 Wonderful8 if what you say is fact then its obvious the chick is lost.

However, I can’t say that I don’t plan on watching.
LOL!

23. Wonderful8

maybe missy doesnt donate or show love to her hometown, because when she was down and out, nobody out there was checking for her. Maybe when she needed help and support nobody was out there tryna help her. When her father was kickin her mothers ass, nobody was out there coming to her rescue. she was probably alone, and nobody from that hometown put a crumb in her mouth..so she probably feels why should she go back and give anything to THEM!

and she probably comes back to shine so she can laugh in yalls faces..cuz even though nobody lifted a finger to help her, she rised above all of that and has a lot to show for it! so she comes back and says HOW YA LIKE ME NOW!

if thats the case..i aint mad at missy!

as far as timbaland not being in the movie…maybe he doesnt have to be in the whole thing..but he could show his face for 2 seconds..cuz timbaland and missy are a team, and what is a missy movie without mention of timbaland. that would be false! he doesnt have to be in it long enough to be misrepresented..he can just show up in the studio or whatever…i dunno

i dont know if this movie should be a feature film..maybe it should be a made for tv movie..squeezed in between THE JACKSONS AN AMERICAN DREAM, and THE FIVE HEARTBEATS! lol…id be interested in seeing it..but not paying 10 bucks to see it! HAYELL 2 DA NAWL!

Why is she even coming out with an movie? I think Missy should have came out with a book but a movie naw oh well. I don’t blame Tim for not wanting to be in this.

Other than her finally admitting that she’s gay, we already know basically everything about her. Not enough to fill 2 hours, maybe 30 minutes w/commercials! Whatever happened to the winner of her talent show (Jessica)? I’m still mad at Missy for not picking the guitar player with the locks.

@37
“Ms Kind bitter much?”

Bitter? About this ish? Naw. Catch me on another post maybe. But IMO, I think that’s a messed up way to treat a friend. He would look like a straight hypocrit jumping in Aaliyah’s movie after these statements.

Anyway, Kind is short for Kind-of-Nice. Meaning sort of nice or not as Bi**hy as I could be. I say what’s on my mind, but I try 2 be respectful,,when I can.

PEACE

ARE THEY PORTRAYING THEMSELVES or are ACTORS doing their parts?

In either case, I GUESS HE IS RIGHT! but at the same time this isn’t about TIM it is about his good & long time FRIEND MISSY ELLIOT!

If he reconsiders & tells exactly how he’d like to be portrayed in the BIO-PIC…with MISSY & PRODUCERS..I am sure they will all cooporate.

You must remeber that TIM is a HUGE part of MISSY ELLIOT’s SUCCESS, & to do a BIO-PIC & him not be apart of it is almost IMPOSSIBLE!

I understand why Tim doesn’t want to be in the movie, and I respect that, but it shouldn’t matter because the script might be good and Missy is Tim’s friend, and he’s a big part of her career.

Her story is very inportant. There are so many young girls who look at tv and do not see themselves. She broke the mold of having to be thin, naked and half white to make it to the top.She was a dark-skinned fat girl who did it. Be proud. If Tim was a true friend in deed, she would not have even had to ask him.

ok, i can respect the fact that tim doesnt want to be in the movie cuz its his choice, but missy has a story to tell. she needs to tell where she came from up until now and hes plays a significant part in her success. come on tim, keep it real.

Missy’s music is awful. Movie producers are sure scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas nowadays if they want to make a biopic on her life. Timbaland is smart for steering away from this trainwreck. She may be his friend, but it seems like an imposition on her part to want him to participate in a film that she hardly deserves and that surely will bomb.
