Movie: "G" The Great Gatsby- Urban Version

AKA2D '91 · #1 10-24-2005, 02:54 PM

I loved TGG (book and movie) in HS. I haven't gone to the movies in a few minutes, so I'll probably check this out!

'G' is a contemporary African-American romance inspired by the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald story The Great Gatsby. Set amidst the grandeur of the ultra elite Hamptons, 'G' follows self-made millionaire and rap mogul Summer G (Richard T. Jones) on a journey to regain what he desires most – the love of his life (Chenoa Maxwell), now married to a wealthy and philandering Wallstreeter (Blair Underwood). Having built his thriving empire from the ground up, Summer G would relinquish it all for the promise of rekindling a romance with his one true love.

ETA: Oct. 28-
Release Date

I definitely want to check this movie out. Richard T Jones is a favorite of mine, plus he's looking yummy in the previews.

After seeing the trailer for this, I never would have pegged as an 'urban' spin on Gatsby. Interesting. If it plays here, I might actually go see it.

^^^ I didn't know it was spin of The Great Gatsby either...but that's hot tho cuz TGG was a good book back when I read it back in HS (especially all the underlining symbolism, i.e. color references, etc.). Now I gotta see the movie.

I haven't even seen previews for this and it's supposed to be out this weekend?

Sounds like it would be very good! I loved the book.

Ooh! I'll see it!

I would like to go see this movie. It's good to see Blair Underwood in another movie, and Richard T. Jones is looking rather sessy.

I've never read TGG; maybe I'll go pick it up.

I can't wait for this. It will be playing in Los Angeles, which is the closest area to me. I'm going to go see it on Sunday.

I saw a commercial for this movie last night during ANTM but according to the website it's not coming to Syracuse.

And I'm not going all the way to Albany to see a movie.
