Our favorite Chicagoan/rapper-turned-SAG card holder is at it again with a new movie that has been making waves on the film festival circuit and this time around, he adds the title of
producer to his resume. Common's latest movie, LUV, has been set for a November 7th release date after getting positive reviews from festival goers earlier this year. The indie feature is set in Baltimore and centers on the tale of Woody, an 11-year-old who lives with his grandmother while his mom wages her own battle with drug addiction. Without a father figure in his life, Woody gravitates towards his uncle, portrayed by
Common. However, he quickly realizes that life with his uncle isn't all that it's cracked up to be. The movie also features a star-studded cast that includes
Charles S. Dutton, Meagan Good, Michael Kenneth Williams, Dennis Haysbert, Lonette McKee, Danny Glover and newcomer Michael Rainey Jr., as Woody.
As a longtime fan of Com's music, and now a fan of seeing him getting better with his acting, I am very much looking fwd to seeing this new film during "Scorpio Season".
