Mos Def x Next Day Air. Mos Def will be starring in the upcoming urban comedy Next Day Air but there is one thing that his movie will be missing…the “N” word. Mos Def along with actor Wood Harris both challenged each other not to use the word on set or in actual filming as well. Harris stated:

“It was something that was very important to us. It was our way of making a statement that we can express ourselves without using the ‘N’ word,” Harris explained. “But it wasn’t just in the movie that we banned the word. We also banned it on the set. No one could say it at all.

“At first it was difficult, but we really stayed on top of each other,” he continued. “By the end of … filming, I don’t know if it was something that even came up. We just didn’t say it, and had no desire to. I hope that other people will start trying to find new ways to express themselves as well.”

WoooHa applauds their efforts and from what we have seen Next Day Air looks to be a fun, crazy adventure. It’s moves like these that show urban films do not need to be stereotypical or stick to certain formulas to work. Movie comes out next week May 8th against Star Trek.
