No word on who's producing or what studio is attached, but Soulja Boy is set star as Bishop, played by Tupac in the original...
Soulja Boy tells Vibe
Basically, it's your boy Soulja and I'm Bishop in 2011, running around in the streets, man. You know how the movie goes, but we’re flipping it and shooting in Atlanta. I want to show these people my acting side and me being creative—always giving them something new; that's all. I got same video director that shot "Crank That," "Kiss Me Through The Phone," "Turn My Swag On" —my most successful videos.
Did you cast any other rappers in the flick?
Yeah, man. Actually Cam'Ron reached out to get in the movie. Some of the original actors that were in the original reached out too. We're in pre-production right now. We start filming on the Apr. 28th in Atlanta. It's going to be crazy. Of course I'm going to have my S.O.D. family in there. We're juicing up!
Who from the original movie is going to be in it? Raheem [Laughs] ?
Not Raheem. You know the chubby one? He reached out. He actually wanted a part. I thought that was cool, so I told the director Rage to just go ahead and put him in the movie.
