Samuel L. Jackson is set to portray George Clinton in a forthcoming biopic on record executive Neil Bogart. 

According to Deadline, the film, “Spinning Gold,” will feature music from an array of artists on Bogart’s legendary Casablanca Records imprint, including Donna Summer, The Isley Brothers, KISS, Parliament, Bill Withers, Gladys Knight, and Curtis Mayfield.

Samuel L. Jackson has been tapped to play funk man George Clinton. Production will begin July 16 in Montreal. The film was written and will be directed by Bogart’s son Timothy Scott Bogart. 

Other stars announced are Keenan Thompson, who will play Berry Gordy, Jason Derulo will play Ron Isley, Jasmine Sullivan will play Gladys Knight, and too young singer is about to be announced to play Donna Summer. 

Bogart founded Casablanca Records in 1973 and signed KISS to the imprint that same year. He became known for promoting funk and disco artists like Donna Summer, the Village People, and Clinton’s Parliament, whom he signed to the label in 1974. 

“My father was making $100 million a year, at the height of Casablanca, but he quote-unquote ‘forgot’ to pay his taxes, and my inheritance amounted to three years at NYU, a Dodge Daytona and the rights to this story,” he said. “I was going to protect this with all I had,” Bogart said. 

Timothy Bogart has also said the movie will feature music from many of the top acts on the classic label.
