The 1992 classic film Juice starring a young Tupac Shakur and Omar Epps is going to be re-made into a mini-movie by Soulja Boy and his S.O.D crew. Set to play the same role as Tupac, Soulja Boy says his remake of the film will be a hit.
Soulja Boy released a free mixtape on 4/20 to serve as the soundtrack for his version of Juice.VIBE.com caught up with the rapper just a few hours before the tape’s release to get the details on the new music, movie, and more:VIBE: Can you tell us a little bit about the story line for Juice?
SB: 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. The whole mixtape is the soundtrack for the movie.
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?
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.
