Lil Wayne x Bow Wow x Hurricane Season. I’m sure you Wayne fans remember this movie being filmed last year and Wayne hyping it up to MTV and the press. Movie is based on the true story of a Post-Hurricane Katrina high school basketball team made up from five different schools and the coach that led them to the state championships.¬†Bow Wow plays Gary, a 5 ft. 7 guard for the team and Weezy plays a high school punk named Lamont who bets against his own high school. Heck we even dropped the first exclusive pics of Bow Wow from the movie way back in the day.
Well now we got more exclusive news for you. Our sources here in Hollywood are telling us that the studio that owns the marketing and distribution rights to Hurricane Season¬†literally has run out of money and will not be able to release it anytime soon. The studio is the Weinstein Company, and it all makes sense since it’s very public knowledge that they are going through big-time financial issues. Hurricane Season finished filming in mid 2008 and was set for a late 2008/early 2009 release date. Instead, it has been pushed back indefinitely.¬†
So what does this all mean? Well you won’t be seeing Wayne playing a high school kid or Bow Wow playing a basketball player anytime soon. Either that or the producers try and buy back the rights so they can sell them to another studio….or it ends up going straight-to-DVD 50 Cent style.¬†
Not surprising. This movie looks destined for $10 million at the box office
[...] ♣ Lil Wayne movie Hurricane Season runs out of $$$ [Woooha] [...]
Man, I like your blog…but man, you sure take alot of shots at 50
What happened? Did the company lose money in the stock market? Movie attendance is up, so if they put it out, it should pay for itself.
I like Bow Wow movies. Roll Bounce was good.
@Gabriel – Yea I know I take a lot of shots at 50. Truth is I actually respect his hustle and and how he has been able to build up his name as a brand…even extending that to film. I only take shots at him b/c his news is usually pretty current…
okay, well this movie looks amazing.
i want’a see it.
wayne is an amazing artist;
i’m sure this will be great! [=
I was looking forward to the movie it seemed like a decent cast. Too bad…I hope they find a way to get it out… Twitter Me twitter.com/jullibabi
WACK JUICE!!!!
Li'l Wayne is smart enough not to finance his own pictures…see what happened to Kevin Costner in Waterworld? (well i actually never saw it, but he spent a boatload)
but if he had a big movie career its where the big money can come in. Like when no one would finance Passion of the Christ so Mel Gibson made it himself and collected over $100 mil straight to HIS pocket
I agree that Lil Wayne is an awesome artist, but singing and rapping skills don't always translate very well onto the big screen. As for the budget situation, Lil Wayne could use a little pocket change, make it rain for a summer and they'll give him the star role.
dangggg bro! I'm from da n.o myself and I was lookin foward to this movie man!!!
How come they can't just use some of their money and buy the rights themselves! even if it don't come out of one persons pocket they should put some money together and put it on screen
I wanna see this when is it coming out?
Why doesn’t Lil Wayne just buy that damn studio he has a lot of money.
