About "NOTORIOUS":

NOTORIOUS charts the remarkable rise of Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace -- who, in just a few short years, shot from the tough streets of Brooklyn to the heights of hip-hop legend. Peeling back his mythic image eleven years after his tragic death, NOTORIOUS reveals the tumultuous and all-too-brief journey of a blazingly talented, fiercely determined young man whose unforgettable rap stories of inner city street life, with their raw truth and vivid rhymes, became emblematic of a whole generation's brutal reality and its dreams of escaping it for something bigger. The film stars Angela Basset, Derek Luke, Jamal Woolard, Anthony Mackie and is directed by George Tillman, Jr., from a script by Reggie Rock Bythewood and Cheo Hodari Coker. Producers are Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace, former managers Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts, Robert Teitel and Trish Hofmann. Sean "P Diddy" Combs serves as the film's Executive Producer and George Paaswell is the co-producer. For more information, please visit www.notorious09.com.
