Bernard Hopkins Movie in the works!

[Crazy Dude]

Will Smith was an actor before he was a rapper. He was in Fresh Prince, etc. long before his music career- so scratch him off the rapper-turned-actor list.

No, his music career came first.

Jamie Foxx gotta do it. He could pull it off I reckon....Or Mekhi Phifer is a good actor...Not The Game though, couldnt see him doing it. Plus, as someone pointed out, he's covered in tatoos. He's got 'LA' on his face too and B-Hop's from Philly so that's not gonna work out, surely...

At least he looks a little bit like Bhop now they only need to train him for 2 years

Dont be silly. The only rapper that looks anything like Bhop is DMX.

DMX carries a gun. If I am not mistaken, this wasn't Bernard's style. He was arrested for using his fists as his weapon.

Bernard also has a strange parnoid and shady way about him.

Had a chance to chat with B-hop last night. Revealed that he's pumped to get back in the ring. Expects a chess match with Winky.

Outside of boxing, he's in talks with a major movie company to make a movie based on his life. Nothing is set in stone, but he mentioned that rapper "The Game" has been chosen to play the part of B-hop.

I hope this movie can capture the story more than the "Tyson" movie did a few years ago.

If Game is playing Mr. X then it should settle the question of whether they have a good system of covering tattoo's with makeup once and for all..

They put some weird patch on Epps when he was in the Kallen movie.

Will Smith hooked up with Jeff WELL before he started acting. Jeff and Will started up in 1985 or so. He was a rapper turned actor.

Your first post was spot on up there though...had me laughing what you said about young buck.

Game looks nothing like Bernard Hopkins. I think it would be an insult to Hopkins to have the Game play his role.

DMX is too short to play the role of Hopkins. DMX is a crackhead which is the antithesis of what Hopkins stands for so he should not be considered for the role.

Samuel L. is really against rappers acting as well. He said they should earn their way into the role and he has a point. What makes a rapper qualified to star in a movie? Will built his way up to super stardom by having smaller roles in movies. Same with cube and LL..
