“It’s one of the most prolific black gangster pictures ever to hit the screen.” – Films can’t actually be prolific, but try telling that to T.I. who stars alongside Common and RZA in Ridley Scott’s forthcoming, “American Gangster,” which actually stars Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. “We had a lot of monologue,” T.I. said of his role as Common’s son and we’re pretty sure he means, “dialogue.” It’s only his second film, give him a break, right? The film’s trailer features Jay-Z’s “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love).” [MTV]
According to an uneventful and unattributed blog post, the soundtrack to the new Farrelly Brothers/Ben Stiller film, “The Heartbreak Kid,” will feature two new Flaming Lips tracks and six old David Bowie tracks. Too bad it’s a film that stars Ben Stiller. [Rolling Stone]
As you’ve obviously heard by now, the soon-to-be no-longer-underdog filmmakers of “Superbad,” scored a $31 million dollar box-office opening weekend. “I never think in terms of who’s famous. I just think in terms of who’s funny,” producer Judd Apatow told The Associated Press. [AP]
