bigted Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Wednesday, August 9th, 2006 Common and RZA Sign on for American Gangster Movie Posted In: Headlines Chicago MC Common and Wu-Tang patriarch RZA have signed on to appear in the Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe film American Gangster, according to a report from MTV. Their addition to the cast now brings the number of rappers appearing in the film to three, after T.I. announced last week that he would be taking on the role of Denzel’s nephew in the Ridley Scott–helmed crime drama. Common will appear as the brother of Washington’s character, a drug lord who smuggles heroin into Harlem hidden in the coffins of soldiers returning from Vietnam. The film, which is set in 1970s New York City, was written by Steven Zailan (Gangs of New York). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lucard Posted August 12, 2006 Members Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I haven't heard about that. Props on the news! I liked Rza on «Coffee and Cigarettes», but never saw Common in a movie. Anyway, they are good MC's and I can't wait to see them on screen!

bigted Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I don't think Common really been involved with acting, this is probably one of his first major film appearances, it'll be interesting to see how he does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
