Looks like Kendrick Lamar will have to move over for the real king of New York, Diddy is teaming up with Oscar-winning director-producer Brian Grazer to remake the 1990 seminal cult gangster classic King Of New York according to Page Six.

“Sean optioned the rights to remake ‘King of New York’ for two years. The film is a cult classic, and it will be great to remake it. Our version won’t be exactly the same, but will have the same hard-core gangster feel,” Grazer said. “Sean wants to be in it, he was amazing in ‘Monster’s Ball,’ and such strong characters sit perfectly with him.”

The film originally starred Christopher Walken, Laurence Fishburne and Wesley Snipes. It followed a drug lord who returns from prison to demolish his competition and distribute the profits to benefit the poor by building a public hospital in a ghetto neighborhood.

The duo plans to start production next year. – Alley Olivier
