T.I. LANDS ROLE IN NEW DANNY GLOVER MOVIE

T.I. set to begin production on new movie with Danny Glover…..

The King of the South is trying to stake his claim for world domination. The rapper is enjoying the success of his latest album, T.I. v T.I.P., which was recently certified platinum for sales of 1 million copies. The rapper is also currently co-headlining the Screamfest tour with Ciara. The tour, which wraps early next month, also features T- Pain, Yung Joc, and Lloyd.

After completing the tour, T.I. will turn his attention to acting. He shared that he’s scheduled to begin work on a new film, Once Was Lost, with Danny Glover. The rapper said,

“Acting is well, acting is well. American Gangster comes out November 2nd. In preparation to do another movie with Danny Glover starting October which I will be producing as well, and another film, another comedy that we’re working on.”

Once Was Lost will chronicle the relationship between a senile jazz musician played by Glover and a money-hungry drug dealer played by T.I. who end up taking a cross country drive from Mississippi to Harlem. The two men end up learning a lot about each other during the trip.

But before fans see Once Was Lost, they’ll see T.I. in American Gangster. In the movie, T.I.’s character is the nephew of a drug kingpin played by Denzel Washington and Common plays T.I.’s father. The movie also stars Cuba Gooding Jr, Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, RZA, and Idris Elba.
