Timbaland Says He Is Packaging A Movie With His 'Opera Noir' Album

Plenty of musicians have transitioned into the film world and Timbaland is reportedly the latest to do so.

According to Vibe magazine, the super producer recently revealed that he will be packaging a film along with his forthcoming album entitlted Opera Noir.

From the sound of it, Timbo's film is something you won't want to miss, especially if you're a fan of Prince. While the legendary performer won't be featured in the film, Timbaland says he's aiming to match the legacy of Purple Rain.

"The album that I'm about to put out-if you think my work on the Michael Jackson album is something you have no idea what I'm about to unleash," he claims of his upcoming project entitled Opera Noir. "The best way I can describe it is this is my Purple Rain. And I'm going to have a movie to go with it. And wait 'til you hear the director who is doing it. It's going to really bug you out!"

Taking a wild guess, we'd say Spike Lee, who recently directed Eminem's video for "Headlights." Lee and Timbaland have both been working on Pepsi's World Cup album as reported last month.

We'll find out soon enough, Timbaland says he is almost done with the project and hopes to have something released by the end of the year.

The Virginia producer also revealed to Vibe that there are no features on the album.

"And the cool thing about it is there are no features, only me and my artists on it," he said. "This is some of the best music you will hear over the last 15 years. I've been going to different studios and letting different people hear the tracks. You can go around and ask. I've very excited about this album."
