Info from Yahoo:
Release Date: August 1st, 2003
MPAA Rating Note: (8/26/02) With a nude sauna sex scen, and a plot involving the profanity-rich world of gangster rappers, it's likely that this film will receive an R rating from the MPAA.
Distributor: Columbia Pictures (Revolution Studios) (Sony)
Production Company: Revolution Studios (XXX, Peter Pan, Anger Management, Gigli)
Cast: Harrison Ford (Joe Gavilian), Josh Hartnett (K.C. Calden), Master P, Lou Diamond Phillips, Isaiah Washington (Sartain); other cast not announced yet.
Director: Ron Shelton (Tin Cup, Bull Durham, White Men Can't Jump, Play It to the Bone, Cobb; he's also got Dark Blue coming soon)
Screenwriter: Ron Shelton (Bull Durham, White Men Can't Jump, Play It to the Bone, Cobb, Blue Chips), Robert Souza (feature film debut of the former LAPD police officer-turned-screenwriter)
Similar Film Note: (8/26/02) The scenario portrayed in this film sounds a lot like some of the real life events that are suggested and/or covered in the documentary, Biggie and Tupac.
Also, screenwriter and director Ron Shelton also has another similar project in development called "Two Guys on the Job", that would be about two long-time police officer friends in San Francisco who find that the corruption, prostitution and temptation that has surrounded them both for years is turning them into lethal enemies.
Premise: Two LAPD homicide detectives who moonlight in other fields, Joe Gavilian (Ford) (a real estate agent) and K.C. Calden (Hartnett) (a yoga instructor and wannabe actor), investigate the slaying of a rap group on stage that is possibly orchestrated by Sartain (Washington), a notorious rap label boss who is rumored to have arranged the death of rap artists in the past who wanted to get out of their contracts, and whose head of security is himself a former LAPD officer. (Lou Diamond Phillips plays an undercover officer who poses as a female prostitute; the two female leads will be a police officer, and one of Hartnett's yoga students who will have a nude sauna scene with him.)
Filming: Production started on August 19th, 2002 in Los Angeles.
Genre: Action, Crime, Drama, Musical
As of now I think this sounds like it will be a good movie and I'm looking forward to it. But it's a little too early to tell for sure. Needless to say I'm pretty certain I will see it.
What does everyone else think?
