Notorious B.I.G. The Movie
[QUOTE]The trailer for [I]Notorious[/I] has finally hit the interweb. With Brooklyn rapper Gravy ([I]née[/I] Jamal Woolard) playing Biggie and Derek Luke as P. Diddy, we can’t wait for this one. But will the film be a fitting legacy to one of the greatest rappers of all time? It’s hard to say from this teaser, which offers only a few glimpses of actual footage. Still, those glimpses are pretty awesome: Biggie as a little kid counting money? That pinstripe suit? Gold, Jerry, gold. On the other hand, the film is being released on Jan. 16, 2009 — historically a studio dumping ground. If it was really “sicker than your average,” wouldn’t Fox Searchlight drop it over Christmas? Only time will tell, but for now, the trailer holds us over after the jump.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://defamer.com/5054359/the-notorious-big-movie-looks-sure-to-hypnotize"]Trailer to Notorious The Movie[/URL] I for one am very happy to see this coming out and think it should be very interesting to watch. I wander how much of a role Tupac will play in the movie, and who is cast to play him?

Now this definitely sounds promising but I hope it's good and not something that will ultimately do him a disservice. Still I am excited to check it out and silly LM, Tupac will play Tupac lol

Diddy but after seeing the previews, it doesnt seem like it will turn out bad. I love Naturi but her as Lil Kim???? Wow! And although A. Basset looks nothing like Biggies's real mom, I think she'll do great cuz' she's a great actor.

I can't wait for this movie to come out! Biggie is one of my favorite rappers and his music has had alot of influence on today's music, so I think the movie will be a hit! I think it would have been cool if they let Diddy play himself.

Yeah it would be cool to have Diddy play his own role, but I don't think that would work out well. I'm sure he wouldn't want to potray himself the exact same way the producers have planned for the film.

Nope, this isn't Derek Luke's first film. He's been in several good movies over the past 6yrs or so.

I may be wrong though.

I heard Biggie's son, CJ is playing a younger Biggie in the movie. He is also featured on a remix of "One More Chance" on the soundtrack. There's some great track on the soundtrack.

I can wait until the movie comes out for that. I wonder if he has even half the skills that his father had...

I most likely think it's singing, because I heard he sings. I didn't expect him to be hardcore since he was brought up under the watchful eyes of Faith Evans and Voletta Wallace. But who knows? He can always be hardcore later on. Biggie started rapping when he was 17. CJ's only like 12 but maybe he'll grow up to be a big gangsta rapper lol.

I saw the preview for this and I could have sworn I saw Diddy play himself in present times (I guess later on in the movie?). And seriously, the woman playing Faith looks a [COLOR=DarkRed][U][I][B]hot mess[/B][/I][/U][/COLOR]. I met Faith Evans many years ago at Zo's Summer Grove (this thing we had like every year in Miami; basketball) and she was [I]so[/I] pretty. I don't like the character matches for anyone in this flick except for Biggie. I am excited though - it's like when the Selena movie came out; it happened in "my time" so it was extremely interesting (and sad) to watch.
