The disco legend went on to confirm that we could be see him coming to a cinema screen near you soon.

"I'm working on it now, or more precisely, I'm working on the stage play version of it that may eventually turn into a film. It'll go way back because the musical motifs that became Chic songs and Diana Ross songs and Sister Sledge songs were written when I was a child."
