The Comedian Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Now that they got Biggie and Pac out the way, can we get a Big L movie? I mean, underground wunderkind who influences damn near everybody but gets snuffed out before he can make it big because he couldn't resist dipping back into the street life. There's money in that story son... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Actually had to look up who Big L was and apparently there's a documentary coming out entitled Street Struck: The Big L Story this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hey, another movie with a gang of actors I love. I will watch just about anything with Michael Shannon in it at this point. Also, that's a well made trailer. I don't have a good idea of what it is, who anyone is, and there's a ton of mystery left despite showing a lot of interesting imagery.

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I just wish there was more money behind the 2Pac film. Straight Outta Compton had everything going for it. 2Pac is the most popular hip-hop artist of all time, no reason a big time production company shouldn't have been all over this. Morgan Creek fell off. There's no distribution for this right now. It should have a wide release. I'm very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 No way, really? You'd think somebody -- ANYBODY -- would be all over this for distribution, especially after Straight Outta Compton blew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I read still no release date and there's also an issue where the rights to use his music are supposed to go back to his estate in 2017 which would mean most likely they wouldn't be able to use any of his music in the film which would just be devastating. I've heard some good things about some of the acting performances but it's just something that to me should be done by a better team. I think Singleton was attached at one point. I don't really trust Benny Boom on something of this magnitude. Then Pac's mom died a few months back also.. I'm just not seeing how this will be successful right now.

Curt McGirt Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Since Afeni died who owns the estate? Hopefully the film would be good enough to convince whoever to give up the rights for some hefty royalty checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a part of Jampol Artist Management as of 2013, but now music exec Tom Whalley (who signed Pac to his first deal and is already super rich) is looking after it instead of Afeni. I heard she trusted Whalley and that's why it is him, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 So, hypothetically suppose you've just left a TV show where you play one of the most villainous villains in the history of the medium. Where do you go from there? How do you follow it up? Who do you play next? Hitler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an interview with Iwan Rheon on NPR last week where they pretty much paraphrased AxB's comment on how such a genuinely decent human being keeps getting cast as completely horrible people. Rheon was pretty candid about how he felt about hardcore GoT fans that could not differentiate between character and actor. Casting a bit of shade on the intenet folks that did not know how to hate King Joffrey while also appreciating the work that Jack Gleeson put into the role to the point that Jack quit acting altogether. He's a Divinity / Philosophy major at Trinity College in Dublin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well, Iwan Rheon was already known as Simon from Misfits, and he was in Vicious at the same time as a couple of seasons of GoT (he also won an Olivier award (for best Supporting actor in a musical) a few years before any of that), so he should be more immune to that. Whereas unless you recognise Gleeson as the kid from Batman Begins, he's pretty much just Joff. Although he did do Edinburgh with his comedy troupe afterwards. Kind of low key though, just a face on a poster with three other faces... in a city that's wallpapered in fresh posters every fifteen minutes for a whole month.

evilwaldo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Scored a ticket for Shin Godzilla. Not sure how this happened but they will be showing it in Scranton, PA but not in New York or Philadelphia from the last time I checked the listings.
