“Rucker Park” Gets A Movie
Malcolm D. Lee, best known for directing "The Best Man" and "Undercover Brother" will rewrite and direct the sports drama "The Rucker." The project follows two basketball players, teammates and friends, one black and one white, who oppose one another in a very important tournament, and also compete for league MVP and NBA attention. The film was inspired by Harlem's Holcombe Rucker Memorial Park, which boasts the best street ball around.
If his first two films are any indication, "The Rucker" should rock. For those that missed "Undercover Brother" in theaters, the DVD is now available. It includes over eight hours of special features: the video for Snoop's "Undercover Brother (Give Up The Funk)," the original internet shorts that inspired the film, an alternative ending, a blooper reel, a making-of feature, commentary from Eddie Griffin (Undercover Brother) and Lee and interactive games ("Cadillac Drive and Jive" and "Afro Attack").
This flick is truly funny. Part Shaft, Bruce Lee, Michael Jackson, Re-Run and Austin Powers, Eddie Griffin, a.k.a. Undercover Brother helps The B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. in their ongoing struggle to stop The Man and his evil agents, Mr. Feather (Chris Kattan) and White She Devil (Denise Richards). By his side are Sistah Girl (Aunjanue Ellis) and Conspiracy Brother (David Chappelle). Though the plot sounds corny, the jokes are right on, and it's no surprise the film grossed 38 million at the box office and received 6 REEL Award nominations.
