The folks at Concrete Loop posted some paparazzi shots from the Biggie biopic set (click here for more)….
Antonique Smith, the actress playing Faith has the hair and the vintage mid-90′s R&B gear down, lol. The outfit on Gravy is not just his between takes ‘fit…its for a specific scene.

I am SO on the fence about this whole ordeal. While I can definitely respect the idea of the Big legacy being made into a movie, at the same time I feel like things should be left alone. I thinking about the potential fallout coming from the plot due to inaccuracies and the obligatory Hollywood fluff that comes with biopics. You’re gonna have a slew of people going ‘That’s not how it went!’.
Plus this could actually reignite emotions. There were too many intricacies in the Big/Pac saga to let Hollywood tell it. There were so many different players and factors contributing to it. This movie may only make things worse, no matter how well-written. I’m really scared of what can happen.
Lastly, besides Angela Bassett and Derek Luke….who the hell are these people??

I agree with sport there will be so many holes in the movie you cant possibly put his life in too and hour and a half movie and is it just me or gravy looks nothing like biggie that chick does look a hella like faith even better but they should have gotten gorilla black to do the film he looks and sorta sounds like big either way the film will do big number and i hop all the ,money will go to his family and not puffy lmao

I think Gorilla Black should of portrayed BIG, but maybe he can’t act….and are they going to depict Charli Baltimore in the movie?? Anyway I’ll give it a chance.

yo mike did u just say that that “chick” looks more like faith evans than faith evans?!! Everyone’s hopping on guerilla blacks dick to act in this HUGE film when the brother OBVIOUSLY cant act! At the end of the day neither cats ARE Biggie so would you rather the fool that can act, or the one who sounds like he’s reading word for word off a script, just cos he looks/sounds more like him – but still not him. Plus did you hear fools single with mario winans?!! Lmao, how the fuck d’you expect him to live up to BIG? And his other feature was beanie man, haha y’all need to come off that shit for real

well i think its a good thing that this movie is being made. cause years from now kids are gonna hear all dif types of things about biggie like little things here and their.and they probley wont know everything cause of the wayz some things are told. so they can watch this movie and learn a about him.as long as the movie is good and based of facts i think its a good thing.theirs nothing like the real footage of biggie but if the movie it done rite it could answer un answer questions and close chapters of people wondering why this and that happend.id like to se a jay z movie one day cause the way he went from not too much too were he is now is crazy.well thats just my 14 cents on things peace everyone!!! by the way for a go i wish all these beefs and these hood dvds of dudes talking shyt and rappers useing photo shop will all go away. this is one of the reasons biggie is dead.theirs one thing battleing each other but all these beefs are crazy people just want too hear good music.and if you want to beef with people and shoot guns join the army.put it too good use.cause at the end of the day it makes rap look like shyt.some of this stuff isent even rhymeing its just talking trash over beats.you have beef?? battle each other.other than that those rappers have no reason too be here.you dont go plat talking shiit on dvds and makeing diss records.when wwas their was a music type so were people just talking shiit on dvds and kill each other???? stop the fighting and make good music. and if theirs rap beef battle each other. do what kanye west does he brushes off the rumors and gos double plat., im out

The Notorious B.I.G story definately needs to be told.
A lot of people especially rappers are quick to call themselves the Best to ever do it and when you look at the amount that B.I.G and Pac did in their short lives its incredible that people would dare take that crown from them.
I mean Pac sold over 100 Million records and these clowns is strugling to go gold. A lot of these rappers jack they moves and swagger and build careers off of them these movie will expose some of em!
Ja Rule aka Fake 2 Pac.

Im ast choreographer for the biggie movie and gravy i think from what we have worked on prior to shooting,will do great. Yes hollywood has to add stuff to make it a “Movie” but go to see it as entertainment and stop putting artist in these super high places and you will walk out happy! =).
peace and love

Yo now I aint even a fan of Ja like that but people ride on this “fake pac impersonator” thing JUST cos dude cut his hair off. As i remember, the first half of his career he either had cornrows or some crazy ass afro/cornrow combination – and y’all know he was successful as fuck. lol but point is he doesnt rap like pac, rap about the same content as pac did or anything or mention pacs name overly much! Its JUST cos he sometimes wore a banadana around his head like pac did. lol, so i guess errybody wearin a fitted over their durag is tryna be fifty right? Now dont get me wrong, if i;m missing something then please hit me up. It just seems it started happening after fifty said his thing back on that “realest killaz” joint. I dont get it cos he never screamed thug life or none of that!!! just thought id throw that in there

@ One off-topic -Lol oh my!!! Dog read your comment. The answer is in there.
1. If you watched Juice and Turn it up you’d see Ja was a fake ass Bishop. I dnt care whether or not he wrote the film or not he had some in put into the character potrayed.
2.Hip-hop is and will always be about originality. You don’t take another rappers gimmick and style and call it your own.
3.Ja was succesful but them niggas are damn near tapped out. You ain’t seen Irv or Ja on the Hip-hop rich list for a reason.
4. Just look at the tatooes on his body c’mon. Ja samples Pac and uses his bars all the time. He is a bootleg 2Pac. As a Biggie and Pac fan Fuk Ja Rule!!
He’s next project is certified trash.Sh*t won’t sell.

Lol u a fool son!
1. You’re saying two CHARACTERS that they played were similar…
2. Which Pac joints are you referring to that sound like “put it on me, always on time, holla holla, between me and you, livin it up….etc” get the picture?
3.What’s money got to do with the Pac comparison?!
4.You’re right, you know I’ve never heard rappers re-use notorious bars from legends in the game. Jay never used bars from Big, Joe never used bars from Pun, shit you could do this shit all day but those two spring to mind right now. And the fact is Ja barely uses lines from Pac anyway!
But you’re right his shit won’t sell, but it’s not trash. Free and Styles P dropped bombs that didn’t sell shit, and they ain’t trash right?

Antonique Smith is soo talented and I think she looks a lot like Faith Evans. I hope she sings in the movie; she has a beautiful voice. I can’t wait to see her this film!!
