Snoop Dogg is coming back to the big screen. After generations of fans enjoying the highly acclaimed rapper’s music, he is set to appear in a film to be directed by Luc Besson. For those who don’t know, Besson has been spreading his wings with his artistic work through titles like The Fifth Element, Lucy, and others.
The rapper, who is also a renowned media personality, will be seen in a science fiction film titled The Last Man, reports Variety.
According to the outlet, the film will be a comedy take on Luc Besson’s 1997 blockbuster that starred Gary Oldman, Bruce Willis, and Milla Jovovich. No other casting details have been announced yet.
Meanwhile, this will be the second project on which the Drop It Like It hottie and Luc Besson will be working together. The two first collaborated in 2006 for a live-action-animated hybrid film titled Arthur and the Invisibles.

A report from MovieWeb suggests that Luc Besson is keen to collaborate with the Young, Wild and Free rapper for another outing.
The director reportedly said, “I’ve been a big fan of Snoop Dogg’s music since ‘Who Am I’.”
Luc Besson then explained that after doing a project together 20 years ago, both he and Snoop Dogg “wanted to work together again and they needed the right project”.
