Kiss My Converse


**First off hey, how YOU doin? I havent blogged in a bit, really didnt feel like it, its like that sometimes. Happy december. On with the blog post**
Randomly a few moments ago I thought "What happened to the supposed remake of Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon" well after a little bit of digging, and I do mean a little, I have not found anything. But I would like to share on who I think should be cast in the movie:
Leroy Green: Originally played by Taimak I think Leroy should be Chris Brown, I am not the only one, RZA has also stated that Chris would make a good Leroy. I also think Taylor Lautner would make a good Leroy too, sure Taylor is not black but Taimak was kinda racially ambiguous as I feel like Taylor is.




Laura Charles: Laura the host of the video dancing show "7th Heaven" was orginally played by former "nasty girl" Vanity. I think this role should go sort of a singer-sort of an actress-kinda model-diddy's china doll Cassie. Some people are saying the role should go to Rihanna, I vote no. Especially since it seems Chris is a shoe in for Leroy, that's just awkward.


Shonuff the Shogun of Harlem: The role of Shonuff was masterfully portrayed by Julius Carry (RIP) and Samuel L Jackson has already been confirmed to play Shonuff. THIS IS BRILLIANT! I could not have cast this part better myself! Although Busta Rhymes would have a genius fit as well as he displayed in his "Dangerous" video.



Eddie Arkadian: Eddie Arkadian was the bad guy who had a lot of money from peddling arcade gear and just wanted to put his girlfriend on the billboard charts...it didnt work. Originally played by some dude named Christopher Murney, I think Danny Devito would fit the bill and build of this character.


Angela Virraco: Angela was Eddie's girl, sweet and naive all she wanted was to be a pop star. This was played by Faith Prince, for this role, I dont know...maybe...Lady Gaga? Or prolly Kellie Pickler?




All the other parts are minor roles and can be filled with whomever. I really do hope this film is made soon. I wonder which one will come first. The remake of this movie or Dr Dre's "Detox" its almost like asking how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop. The world may never know.
