Hip-Hop Rumors: A DMX Movie Coming?

There is a little buzz on the street and that’s saying that there may be a DMX biopic on the way.

Are you interested in a movie that would talk about the Dark Man X?

I think it could be of interest to us, the people, because we have been captivated by his story from day one. The catch is, who would play DMX? I am hearing X could play himself, but also its possible an actor could. The other component I am hearing is that the movie would be a deep saga sort of film that would be based on the book on X’s life – “E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX.”

The book came out in 2003 and is still available. Here is the description:

The dark journey of a boy who became a man, the man who became an artist, and the artist who became an icon. A talent for rhyme saved his life, but the demons and sins of his past continue to haunt him.
This is the story of Earl Simmons.

I wonder how true this is and is there a market for it? Hell, the way they give life story movies to Mark Walberg…this seems to be a no-brainer. But you tell me!?
