G OPENS IN THEATERS NATIONWIDE ON OCTOBER 28TH
... This vibrant independant film is a contemporary African-American romance inspired by the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald story The Great Gatsby ... and stars Blair Underwood (L.A. Law, Madea's Family Reunion), Richard T. Jones (Collateral, Judging Amy) and Andre Royo (Shaft, The Wire).
Set amidst the grandeur of the ultra elite Hamptons, "G" follows self-made millionaire and rap mogul Summer G (Richard T. Jones) on a journey to regain what he desires most - the love of his life (Chenoa Maxwell), now married toa wealthy and philandering Wallstreeter (Blair Underwood). Having built his thriving empire from the ground up, Summer G would relinquish it all for the promise of rekindling a romance with his one true love. Urban music writer, Tre, (Andre Royo) spends the summer chronicling the lifestyle of this complex rap mogul for an article on the rise of African-American prominence linked to Hip Hop in the Hamptons. Without malice or intent, this writer brings these lovers together while simultaneously pulling their worlds apart.
"G" is directed by ChristopherScott Cherot, who made his directorial debut with the independent film "HavPlenty," and written by Cherot and Charles E. Drew, Jr. ~~~

I have to say your blog is very bright and colorful. But I have to admit "G" was the worse waste of money (besides "Held Up" with pre-Oscar winning Jamie Foxx).

Blair Underwood attached himself to this, which disappointed me even more. Maybe he needed the paycheck?
