Don’t expect much theatrical buzz about the release of this film. As far as the studios are concerned this is more of a throw-away production to add cash to the bottom-line after the holiday movie rush. B.IG. fans will be the movie goers to bring validity to this project.
Here is a trailer to the new Notorious movie about the life on B.I.G. After first view you will realize that this movie actually looks pretty good. If you’re a hip-hop lover like me, you will realize that having screenwriters such as Reggie Rock Bythewood (Get on the Bus, Biker Boyz) and Cheo Hodari Coker, is the real deal (Cheo interviewed and critiqued some of hip-hop’s top legends). The movie is directed by filmmaker George Tillman Jr., of Soul Food and Men of Honor previously. The screenplay was written by Fox Searchlight is distributing Notorious and will be premiering it in limited theaters starting on January 16th, 2009. Enjoy the clip!
