The musical biopic on Pharrell Williams’ life as a child might never see the light of day. He has confirmed that the film has been scrapped.

 

As spotted on Variety the multi-hyphenate is putting the brakes on what would have been his newest big screen project. On Friday, Feb. 7 he and director Michel Gondry provided the entertainment magazine a formal statement on the status of Golden. “When all of us got into the editing room we collectively decided there wasn’t a path forward to tell the version of this story that we originally envisioned,” it read. “We appreciate all the hard work of the talented cast and crew. While we’re disappointed we can’t deliver this film, we have incredible partners at Universal and will collaborate in a different capacity again soon.”

Golden was set to capture Pharrell Williams’ childhood by combining music and story telling. During pre-production he described the project as “a coming-of-age story about self-discovery and pursuing your dreams, but it’s so much more magical than that. It’s a celebration of Black life, Black culture, and most importantly, Black joy.” It featured an all-star cast of talent including Janelle Monáe, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Halle, Bailey, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Brian Tyree Henry and Quinta Brunson.

It is unclear what Universal Pictures will do with footage and soundtrack.
