In a recent profile in GQ, Jones revealed that he is eyeing Atlanta star Donald Glover to star in the leading role.
Speaking to Chris Heath for an expansive new GQ feature, Quincy Jones reveals that he wants Donald Glover to play him in a forthcoming ten-part TV miniseries about his life. “I never been this busy in my life,” Jones tells Heath. “We’re doing ten movies, six albums, four Broadway shows, two networks, business with the president of China, intellectual property. It’s unbelievable, man.”
Currently in the “prospective” stage of its development, the series has yet to be officially announced by any company. Along with the aforementioned efforts, Jones is also involved with an Oprah-hosted CBS special and Netflix documentary.
