In an odd couple of sorts, Mos Def and Erykah Badu will be starring side-by-side in the upcoming indie drama Bobby Zero. Movie is relatively small but will be a great platform for Mos Def and Badu to both show off their acting abilities and on-screen chemistry. Movie is about how Bobby (Mos Def), a struggline artist, and his agoraphobic girlfriend hit rock bottom after years of struggling as a couple. To make ends meet, Bobby goes corporate and “sells out” with an advertising job and is confronted by his past beliefs, stepping outside the box and discovering that there the world is not what he expected.

Bobby Zero is expected to begin filming in 2009 once Badu delivers here third child. Mos Def is starring in the upcoming music drama Cadillac Records alongside Beyonce. Check him out in this pic as Chuck Berry. Nice weave Mos! (source)
