Over his long career, Snoop Dogg has shown he’s good at a lot of things, from rapping to hosting and cultural commentary. Now, he’s hinted at a new project: creating a science fiction movie.
In a recent Variety interview, he shared, “I can’t give away the whole story, but I’ll share the idea. I love Planet of the Apes. It made me wait too long for the next one.” He might be referring to the seven years between War for the Planet of the Apes in 2017 and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which just came out this year. “I’m going to do something similar,” he added, “but imagine dogs instead of apes.”
It’s still unclear what this movie could look like, especially since Planet of the Apes movies usually have a serious tone. While talking dogs aren’t a new concept in Hollywood, Planet of the Apes is distinctive for envisioning an entire society centered around apes. It’s also hard to picture this film having the gravitas typical of Planet of the Apes movies.
Only time will tell if Snoop is genuinely working on this idea or just teasing the world and having fun with his admiration for the classic franchise.
