Look for me in the new Biggie movie! Received my confirmation today:

Quote:
You now have a reservation for 2 to be in the film "Notorious" on Fri. April 25, 2008 at 10:30 AM - 7:30 PM.

You Will Be There As:

* Concert scenes reenacting a performance by Junior M.A.F.I.A

* Biggie accepts his FIRST PLATINUM RECORD

* Notorious B.I.G. takes the stage!

"Notorious" is the true story of Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls aka Notorious B.I.G.

The film follows the rise and fall of Wallace; who, in just a few short years rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time.

Notorious B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.(Fox SearchLight)

Sadly he was never able to escape his previous life completely and after becoming involved in the East Coast-West Coast rap feud he was murdered at the age of 24.

Some of the most important scenes will be reenactments of concerts and those are the scenes we get to be in!!!

"The movie follows Mr. Wallace from childhood in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn through his death, and various scenes will 'capture the spirit and reason for certain things' without making detailed accusations, said Director George Tillman." (NY Times)

The scenes we're part of will be very exciting and high energy concert scenes. We get to be concert fans and help energize the filming!!!

These are some of the main scenes in the film, and features Jamal "Gravy" Woolard as Biggie. We don't know or expect the other actors to show up today…but you never know. Same with Producer Sean "Puffy" Combs.

This is an indoor scene, so we go Rain or Shine.
If you don't know, now you know, nigga!

Congrats, Diva. I'm still kicking myself for missing out on the opportunity to be an extra in that new Johnny Depp Dillinger flick, so I'm at once jealous of and happy for you.

First off congrats Diva, that is quite cool.

Now if only Moltisanti and I could get in on that picture. Of course we clearly would be members of the "Honkey Patrol".

Well, in NYC especially, there are lots of crazies. They need to account for everyone on set and get a head count for food and drinks.

It's crazy secretive. They have yet to send me the location. I'm supposed to receive my "Info Pack" soon telling me what to wear, the location of the set, and whatever other info I need.

In 1994 I had two in each ear. What did that mean? Oh, I also had a mullet.

Almost forgot, congrats Diva.

It meant you hated the Black Album and thought Metallica was only going downhill from there. Which means you're a prophet.

Diva,

During the concert scenes, do you think you will be surrounded by criminals? Heavy rollers? Sheisty individuals?

I say this to be funny, with no animosity, but I would love it if the 2nd AD loved you and decided to give you a speaking role, simply so you could be credited as Ho #2. And then 50 years from now you could show it to your grandkids, and say "that's me, I'm ho #2!"

I've narrowed it down to two options:

a) Sexy-bling: black halter top with silver neckline, miniskirt, and black heels
b) Ghetto-fab: white tank, baggy jeans, flannel shirt wrapped around waist and black boots

I'm leaning towards the latter, mainly because it'll be more comfortable standing around set for 8 hours. Not sure what I'm doing with my hair yet, but big hoop earrings are a must.

Wow, all of that sounds terrible. Are you already a wigger, or is this some sort of ironic prank you're playing on the people making the movie?

This coming from a guy who was born in the 80's. Do you even know what wigger means? Cause by definition I can't be one.

The second outfit comes straight from the closet of the highest grossing female rap artists of all-time. But I guess they don't know how to dress either.

Looks like you dug yourself a grave on that one Cordo.

I say go with the one you're going to be most comfortable. As you said, you'll be around for hours. Might as well not in pain due to your shoes.

What am I talking about. Of course I'm going to post pictures. These are all circa '93-'94.

Green jeans and a half shirt that barely covers my boobs.



I'm not wearing a wife beater, but I got the oversized overalls, flannel and hoop earrings.



It's hard to see because it's a side pose, but I was wearing a vest and a bra. No shirt. And of course, the way oversized jeans.


Rollin' like a cholo.


Yeah... I'm happy my fashion sense matured a bit.

I should have went with the sexy outfit. All the ladies baring cleavage sat front row. On the other hand, movie making is so boring and repetitive I ended up leaving early so I guess it was best I wasn't too in the camera (I sat center front about 10 seats back from the stage). I ended up ditching the baggy jeans and flannel and wore regular jeans, blue tank, boots, hair in braids with a black hat. There were idiots wearing Sean Jean clothes and such, that got pushed out of the shot by the production crew because obviously that clothing line didn't exist in 1994.

The set was fun for awhile. They were shooting a scene that takes place in Georgia, shortly after the Pac has a falling out with Biggie. BIG starts singing "Gimmie the Loot" and 2Pac fans in the crowd start booing and holding "thug Life" signs. Biggie stops the record, says a speech about how he and Pac were friends and that Pac warned him fame would break up friendships. Then he says he came up with this song months ago, even though 2Pac won't believe him - and he goes into "I Shot Ya", winning over the crowd. The first take was awesome with people singing along and then the crew had to remind us that this was the first time we've heard the song!

We also shot a scene where Biggie is singing Juicy (actually they shot that yesterday). But they needed a shot where the camera pans over the crowd towards Biggie on stage. So there were no actors for that, but it was nice to hear another song after hearing the other two about 60 times.

The guy who plays Biggie looks like him, but is obviously new to acting. He had to do a lot of takes and didn't have much energy with the crowd. I know BIG was a big guy so didn't move around a lot on stage, but still. Derek Luke as Diddy just gave 110% every time. He was great, dancing all over the stage and throwing money at the crowd. He got bigger cheers than BIG.

Problems came when we were supposed to break for lunch, but the crew hadn't gotten their shots and wouldn't let people leave. We were in our seats from 10:30 a.m. to about 3:30 p.m. before we could get up to eat. And of course, there was a mad rush and nothing was left by the time I got up to the second balcony where the food table was. I ended up leaving after that. All in all, it was an interesting experience. I have two cell phone pics, but I have a new phone and haven't yet figured out how to upload them.

If anyone's interested in being an extra, so to www.beinamovie.com
