Mos Def has established himself as a top billed actor with major roles in Be Kind Rewind, 16 Blocks and The Italian Job to name a few. Even though Mos has gone “Hollywood” he still maintains a strong presence with his roots in hip-hop and can often be found showing his love for fashion by supporting various streetwear labels.

Now Mos Def plans to take his Hollywood game to the next level by getting into film producing. Together with his two brothers, Mos Def has formed a production shingle by the name of Garden Grown Entertainment. According to Variety, their first project The Fabulous Moulin Rogue is a movie based on the story of the Moulin Rouge, the first desegregated hotel and casino in Las Vegas.  Movie will be filmed in Dubai where tax credits make it very attractive to film there and although gambling is illegal in Dubai the producers plan to re-create the entire casino. No word yet on planned release dates or if Mos Def plans to be in front of the camera as well.
