SuperFly! 
"...Williams has been signed by producer Joel Silver to direct a remake of 1972's "Superfly," the classic Gordon Parks blaxploitation film. "It's kinda like a modern-day retelling of the story," Williams said recently in Los Angeles. "We're going to be doing that at the end of the year, hopefully." When prodded about which actor would fill the shoes of Ron O'Neal as Youngblood Priest, a cocaine entrepreneur trying to put hustling behind him, Hype would only laugh and answer, "A big shot! That's for sure." The director isn't sure exactly when and where filming will take place, but he's hoping to follow the original and use his hometown as the backdrop. "I would hope to shoot in New York," he revealed. "It's a real part of the story. It's just hard sometimes to make movies like that happen. It's really weird now [to shoot in New York]. You have to weigh out what means more: having money to spend on the look of the movie versus being able to stay true to the storytelling and shoot it where it was meant to be shot." ...." http://www.mtv.com/movies...tory.jhtml | |
