The movie also marks Timberlake's first venture as a feature
producer. Timothy Scott Bogart, who also is penning the script, Evan
"Kidd" Bogart, and Gary A. Randall, founding partners of Boardwalk
Entertainment Group, also will produce. Rick Yorn is Executive Producer.
Additionally, Boardwalk Records is producing the album in
conjunction with the movie, including classic hits reimagined by today's
biggest artists.
Spinning Gold chronicles the life of music legend Neil
Bogart, the late father of Tim and Evan, who founded Casablanca Records in 1974
and is credited with discovering, launching and nurturing the careers of a
generation of music superstars. KISS, Parliament, Donna Summer, and The Village
People were just a few of the acts on the roster of Casablanca Records, whose
sound and image would come to define 70s pop culture.
Boardwalk Entertainment Group partner, producer and
screenwriter, Tim Bogart, said, "This movie is literally three decades in
the making, but we knew that without the perfect actor to bring our father to
life on film, his essence and impact on the lives and careers he inspired would
never be fully captured – from the moment we met Justin, we knew we'd found our
Neil Bogart. With Justin also a producer on the movie, together we're crafting
this saga about a young dreamer who started with nothing and came of age in the
60s and 70s, believing anything was possible and every risk was worth taking.
Though he died at only 39, he lived to see all his dreams come true."
