Carlitos Way prequel

[TOKZTLI]

Jay Hernandez that Mexican cat in Friday Night Lights is gonna play Carlito.

That's right Jay Hernandez is coming up, P Diddy probably going to be in about 2 minutes once editing gets done, because he is going to funk it all up if he stays any longer. Anyone know any other actors in it?

[ValleyEnt]

Rappers that try to Act in Movies Suck big fat fuckin Nuts! PAC pulled it off well, and broght so much Realness to his Characters. But other rappers in movies like

MASTER P (Gone in 60 Seconds, MP Da Last Don ect...)

JA RULE (HALF PAST DEAD..oh and dont forget KURUPT! Fuck that was lame!)

TREACH (Love and a Bullet, Empire, JUICE *Although he just Mad stupid faces in the background on JUICE*)

FAT JOE (Empire)

Those assholes Look so fuckin retarded Trying to act. Give it up! Go find a day job! (Although i did Love seeing PEE.DIDDY Get Killed on "MONSTERS BALL" lol).

Oh... another Good one that can pull off the acting is D.M.X. & METHOD MAN. Fuck the rest.

 

[massive]

I second that.

Trying to build hype for your movie by saying P Diddy is going to be in it, but not mentioning any REAL actors is a bad sign (especially when the origonal movie had such a tight cast and great performances Sean Penn was the shit in that movie).

Also a bad sign, when they only talk about who's producing the movie and not mention a director, especially when someone as great as De Palma made the OG version.

Maybe it's too early to say all that, but i have a feeling this is just a way to try and cash in on the hip hop croud instead of trying to make another classic film.

Couldn't agree more...

 

[Trick420]

i hope they make this movie good...they should have had pacino..not someone else

i havnt heard anything on a scarface prequel in some time


they cant make movies like casino, goodfellas, scarface, donnie brasko anymore

u just listed all of my fav movies and books!

 

[MeloTrauma]

Remember when Dre tried acting in Set It Off... that shit was just embarassing.

A script review for the prequel to the 1993 Brian DePalma/Al Pacino thriller "Carlito's Way" has gone up at LatinoReview and gives further insight into the story:

"Jay Hernandez stars as the young Carlito Brigante, who from an early age is seduced by the power and excitement of the New York underworld. Assisted by his two "brothers" in crime, Rocco (Michael Kelly, Dawn of the Dead) and Earl (Mario Van Peebles, Ali), Carlito is on the fast-track to becoming Spanish Harlem's ultimate kingpin. But when he is challenged, Carlito has just one thing on his mind...survival.

I wanted to hate this script but I actually didn't. I ended up liking the script -- it's entertaining -- and I hope it makes an entertaining movie which I think it will. I will definitely go and see it on opening night to show my support for Hernandez and see how he pulls off playing Nuyrorican. What the script has going for it and what I like is that Carlito is a swaggering motherfu**ker".

ON DVD SEPT 26TH
