OutKast's Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000, has pacted with Element Films to star in an untitled feature for the company, with Emmy-winning TV helmer Paris Barclay in talks to direct.

Dubbed the untitled Andre Benjamin project, Element is gearing up for a September start in New Orleans. Set in the mid-1970s, the project follows the story of an upper-middle-class musical prodigy named Valentine (Benjamin) and a lower-class free-spirited woman named Chevon, whose families are opposed to their interracial relationship. Problems arise when an accidental shooting caused by Chevon's police officer brother is blamed on Valentine.

Said Benjamin, "This is a story that I have been passionate about being a part of for a long time. This project is coming to life at a perfect time in my theatrical career. The whole team is really excited about the possibilities."

The hip-hop star-turned-actor has other projects on his slate, including a Cartoon Network series, a Jimi Hendrix biopic with the Hughes brothers and a completed part in MGM's upcoming "Be Cool."
