Outkast’s Andre 3000 is set to play the role of Sammy Davis Jr in an upcoming film according to a report in the New York Times.
The film will concentrate on the singer’s relationship with Kim Novak, which caused much controversy at the time because it was an inter-racial relationship. Andre 3000 has recently featured in the films Idlewild and Charlotte’s Web and is currently working with Will Ferrell on Semi-Pro.
