"Jordan Towers video"
I think people get mad at "Notorious" cause clearly Puffy played with the truth in the movie like the whole Quad Studio, Biggie with a gun going to rescue Pac, even as a Big fan I rolled my eyes. Plus Pac fans were upset at how Mackie did as Pac which is valid, he wasn't a great Pac. But I thought they handled Biggie and Pac's relationship well and didn't focus on the negative. Your right about casting.
I think Gravy nailed Big. Derrek Luke was a good puff and Old girl that NaS said he wanted to bone did play a good Faith. Angela Bassett brought credibility to the cast. Lil Kim was right to be mad cause they didn't portray her character right to me, she wasn't just a jump off to Big. Again I did enjoy the movie but there were a couple moments where again I rolled my eyes. My biggest beef was they didn't show other artist like Wu, NaS etc from that era. I know it was a Biggie movie but they could of showed clips just acknowledge the history of other rappers who where there with Big. Can't believe "Notorious" was Hip Hop 1st official Bio-pic. "8 Mile and Get Rich" don't count since Em and 50 swear they were only "loosely" based even though we all know those were both Bio-Pics for both. Em and 50 just didn't want to be criticized for playing themselves when that's exactly what they did.
shyt looks like it was filmed with an iphone
i can't remember how long Malcom X was but they did a good job fitting most/all of his life in so i don't think Biggie or Pac will be a problem, you just need the right director & the right screenwriter. you need a person that knows the right moments to put it, you don't need EVERYTHINGThe problem with doing a Biggie or Pac movie is trying to fit everything in 2 hours. The East/West Beef alone could take up the 2 hour movie now you are trying to fit childhood, teenager and adult rap star into 2 hours? Tupac and Biggie's lives really can't be condensed like that but this is Hollywood. Clearly both movies will be cash grabs. I hope when the full trailer comes out it will be better but I was not impressed with that 1st trailer.
