OpenEntrance - What’s Really Going OnWhat’s Really Going On

Associated Press reports that their is a casting call for a professional or unknown talent to play the role of the Notorious BIG for an upcoming biopic of the fallen rapper.

Producers will find the star of the film “Notorious” by auditioning those who resemble Christopher Wallace, B.I.G.’s born name. In the works for nearly seven years, Fox Searchlight bought the rights to the film in 2005 from Wallace’s mother Vonetta Wallace, who is on tap to produce along with Wallace’s two former managers, Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts. George Tillman (”Soul Food”) will be directing. 

Notorious has been rumored for far too long to have not come out.  My only hope is that they do some justice to the greatest rapper/story-teller of all time.  I’m not trying to have the conversation about who yall think are they greatest cause I just told you. 

Rumor has is that when searching Hollywood for an actor to pull off this role the name Forrest Whitaker came up.  Then someone realized that he is 46 and Big was 24 in ‘97 when he got shot up.  The person that thought of that should get his ass kicked.  I think this will have to be an unknown fat cat that will blow up in the Black community.

Biggie Biggie Give me one hit…
