| Big Kuntree Wraps Filming on New Wesley Snipes Movie RMD Entertainment Group announced today that dirty south hip hop artist, Big Kuntree, recently finished filming in the new Wesley Snipes' movie "Hard Luck." Big Kuntree was cast as the character "Bigs" in the film. Wesley Snipes and Mario Van Peebles, who teamed up in "New Jack City, " are reunited again for "Hard Luck, " hoping to realize the same level of success the second time around. Actress Cybill Shepherd also joined Snipes, to top-line the pulpy thriller, which Van Peebles is directing. "This was such a great opportunity for me to work with all the established Hollywood names on the project, " said Big Kuntree. "Wesley (Snipes) and Mario (Van Peebles) are known for making great urban films. Their movies reach the same people that I want to reach with my music for RMD." "Hard Luck" is described as a quirky thriller following three converging story lines involving bootleggers, a serial killer and drug dealers. Snipes plays a former drug dealer who is trying to go straight but comes across a stash of stolen drugs. Shepherd plays Cass, a middle-aged suburban housewife who hides a sadistic and vicious streak. The film is tentatively scheduled for release in 2006. Big Kuntree's debut album entitled "Hard Drive" will be released on RMD in the spring of 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
