Ne-Yo is following in the footsteps of Eminem by releasing a semi-autobiographical film, similar to Eminem’s 8 Mile movie.

The R&B singer tells Rap-Up.com that they are “are putting together the next film right now as we speak, as a matter of fact. The name of the movie is Venice Beach and basically it’s going to be my 8 Mile, loosely based on my life, but not really,”

The 28-year-old continues saying “there’s a lot of room for it to be either really good or really corny. We gotta make sure the script is right, so that’s why we ain’t start shooting yet. We gotta get it right.”

Production is set to start in December 2008. 8 Mile went on to gross over $240 million worldwide.
