JUICE RE-MAKE? FEATURING SOULJA BOY?

Well would you look at that! Internet sensation turned popular rapper, Soulja Boy, is branching out into the world of acting. It has been confirmed in recent weeks that Soulja Boy will be portraying the role of Bishop (formally played by Tupac Shakur) from the popular urban blockbuster, Juice. Word of the Juice remake began to surface after the release of Soulja Boys most recent mixtape which, ironically enough, is titled Juice.  In an interview with Vibe.com, Soulja Boy had this to say, “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 the same video director that shot 'Crank That,' 'Kiss Me Through the Phone,' 'Turn My Swag On'—my most successful videos. The whole mixtape is the soundtrack for the movie.”  Besides Tupac himself, the original film featured talents such as Omar Epps (Q) , Khalil Kain (Raheem), Jermaine Hopkins (Steel), Cindy Heron (Yolanda), and Samual L. Jackson (Trip). While it is unknown at this currant time when the movie will be released, or who will be playing the remaining roles in the film, i'm sure more information will emerge in the following weeks to come.
