Finally, after years of open castings, production disputes, script rewrites and even a change in directors, the long awaited Biggie epic has begun filming.

Newcomer Jamal Woolard (Christopher Wallace), Angela Basset (Voletta Wallace) and Dereck Luke (handpicked by the man himself to portray Sean Combs) are currently crafting what is sure to be, if nothing else, an interesting watch. The project is being shot primarily on location in New York City by acclaimed director George Tillman Jr. (Men of Honor, Soul Food).
