Foursome rocks with 'Cracktown'
NEW YORK -- Evan Ross, Michael Rapaport, Kerry Washington and Victor Rasuk are attached to star in Buddy Giovinazzo's drug-fueled indie urban drama Life Is Hot in Cracktown.
Ross also is starring in Jessy Terrero's Brooklyn to Manhattan, a thriller about four Manhattanites stalked by killers in Brooklyn subway tunnels after a failed drug deal.
Cracktown, based on Giovinazzo's eponymous 1993 collection of short stories, intertwines several unsettling tales of people in a neighborhood ravaged by crack cocaine.
Ross, the 18-year-old son of singer Diana Ross, recently stirred up controversy after the MPAA initially banned a poster for Lionsgate's upcoming Pride because of a revealing shot of him in a tight swimsuit. According to a story this week in the New York Daily News, Lionsgate was forced to prove that the photo wasn't altered, prompting a reversal of the decision. "Apparently the MPAA accused us of enlarging his bulge," a Lionsgate spokesperson said. "He's just naturally well-endowed. That's the long and short of it."
Ross' credits include the upcoming HBO Films drama Life Support with Queen Latifah and the indie drama Gardens of the Night with John Malkovich.
