Hip-hop mogul/legend Dr. Dre will produce the upcoming horror-thriller film, 'Thaw.'

Dre has tapped screenwriter Vik Weet to pen the script and his Crucial Films partner, Daniel Schnider, as co-producer. There are reports that Schider "originated the idea."

                                 

"Thaw" is about "an ancient evil that emerges from the rapidly melting ice in the Yukon,"

This isn't Dre's first foray into film either--he's appeared in movies like "The Wash" and "Training Day ," and acted as executive producer on "The Wash" as well.
