Lil Wayne Speaks on upcoming move ‘Hurricane Season’ [VIDEO]

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne recently spoke on his move towards acting in Hollywood films and gave an update on his upcoming movie Hurricane Season alongside Forest Whitaker.

Reflecting upon his on-screen time, Weezy also spoke on working with the Academy Award-winning actor.
“I just finished shooting a movie with Forest too,” he said in an interview. “He’s a very serious guy. I just spoke to him before he went out there, and he was like, ‘You did good in the movie.’ Then he goes out there and sings that. I’m like, ‘Wow.’ Everything was wonderful and just doing it in New Orleans, it being a true story and just contributing in any kind of way, it was great for me.”

The movie, which began filming last year, will co-star numerous actors.

Wayne will be joining notable actors including Forest Whitaker, Isaiah Washington and Taraji P. Henson. Aside from sharing screen with those thespians, Wayne will also team up with Bow Wow in film. He has been set to portray an high school student by the name of “Lamont” who is doubtful of what the new basketball team could achieve.

Furthermore, Hurricane Season will place emphasis on the post-effects of 2005′s Hurricane Katrina.

A year after Hurricane Katrina, Al Collins, a high school basketball coach in Marrero, Louisiana, assembles a team of players who had previously attended five different schools before the disaster and leads them on the path to the state championships.
