The first clip from the upcoming “Notorious” film has been released. Jamal Woolard and Antonique Smith play slain Rapper Notorious B.I.G. and his widow Faith Evans.
In just a few short years, The Notorious BIG rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. BIG was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.
In “Notorious”, Jamal Woolard is supported by Angela Bassett as B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace, Derek Luke as P. Diddy, Anthony Mackie as Tupac Shakur, Anwan Glover as Snoop Dogg, Naturi Naughton as Lil’ Kim and others. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on January 16th, 2009. [source: USA Today]
