A few weeks back, we reported that the production of the upcoming Notorious B.I.G biopic Notorious had found its star. Now we have our first look at that star in full Biggie-mode. Producer Wayne Barrow recently posted this pic of Jamal Woolard on his production blog.
Not only is Woolard a Brooklyn native, but he’s a dead ringer for Biggie.
Wait, is it alright to call him a ‘dead ringer’? It’s okay, right?
Anyway, it’s time to get excited about this film. We’ll have to wait to see how the newcomer’s acting chops are, but it’s got a great cast featuring Academy Award winner Angela Bassett, is being supervised by Biggie’s mom and P. Diddy, and it looks like their star fits the rapper’s shoes just right.
We’ll keep an eye out for more updates. If all stays on course, Notorious is set for an early 2009 release.
