Kid Cudi announced that he wrote “Jean” and plans to direct and star as Jean-Michel Basquiat in the film. Variety reports he put filming in 2027 and posted images from a wardrobe test he called rough, not final. Cudi said people had asked him for years to play the artist and described the planned film as a love letter to Basquiat and 1980s New York.
