"Hustle and Flow"- New John Singleton Movie
Singleton to Produce Inner-City Rap Movie
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Filming is scheduled to begin July 10 on an inner-city rap movie produced by John Singleton (news) and directed by filmmaker Craig Brewer.
"Hustle & Flow," starring Terrence Howard ("Big Momma's House"), Anthony Anderson ("Barbershop") and hip-hop artist Ludacris, will be shot over a four-week period.
Brewer has described the $2.8 million independent production as the story of a "pimp-hustler with a mid-life crisis who wants to rap."

Uhhh....
Well they had me at Terrance Howard and lost me at Anthony Anderson & Ludacris.
This movie would have been muuuuuuuch cheaper if they would have given Dolemite the starring role.

I wish that some Black(or other)filmmakers would realize that we have other stories to tell besides what is going on in the "hood" or who is sleeping with who and why.

Sadly, there isn't a market for mature AfAm storytelling. I've read that movies such as To Sleep With Anger and such have trouble finding an audience.
There was a movie called G with Blair Underwood and Chenoa Maxwell that was supposed to have come out in 2002, but I've never seen it, and I live within driving distance of Los Angeles, a major market.
Remember, most movies are aimed at teenagers or those barely out of their teens.

What I don't appreciate are those butchered accents. NOBODY Southern sounds like that. Who does Terrance think he's fooling? Sounding all crazy.
Phony accents bother me.

Ok, I saw a free preview screening last night, the movie was actually pretty good. It's definitely the story of a pimp going through a mid-life crisis....

If you don't win tickets....definitely try and catch it at a mattinee.
Y'all Terrence Howard is a pute fool in this movie. I mean from the way he talks, to his dressing, to the way he lives......and wait until you see how he spells his name in the movie...and please pay close attention to what he has on when he goes to see Luda...and don't forget what time of year it is.
