It was announced on Monday that Questlove is set to direct the live-action reimagining of the 1970’s Disney film, The Aristocats.
According to Deadline, The Roots band member will oversee the music for the movie in addition to executive producing and directing.
Questlove shared the news on Instagram in a post that read: “They chose to chase the cat… I basically have 2 life goals: 1. Don’t dismiss my dreams & 2. Get out of my own way.”
Last year, he won an Oscar for his film Summer of Soul, which won Best Documentary Feature, but now he’s taking on fiction.
The Disney film initially debuted in December 1970 about a “high-society” cat named Duchess, whose wealthy owner leaves behind her state to her and her kittens.
