Whenever a bio epic comes out, I can’t help but think of Mekhi Phifer in 8 Mile (did anyone believe those dreads were real?) and cringe.
So I’m a little skeptical that they’ll be able to pull off a Biggie movie with the same penache as say “Ray” or “Walk the Line”.
I mean, the trailer looks compelling, I’ll give them that.
The dude looks like Biggie Smalls and you know whatever Angela Bassett is in is gonna be good but what about Puffy?
He’s already a parody of himself so how can anyone play him without the audience laughing?
Essentially, Derek Luke has to play a parody of a parody.
Doesn’t bode well for “Notorious”.
They’re really better off getting the kids from the Sky’s the Limit video…they really nailed it. (And how cute is Baby Busta Rhymes?)
Maybe they’ll finally unveil who shot Biggie…no doubt in a slow motion montage.
