Last year I met infamous, ex-drug dealer Ricky "Freeway" Ross on February 2, 2012 in Detroit last year, we exchange numbers, and talked about his life story coming to the big screen. He told me briefly that he was very interested in Jamie Foxx portraying him on the big screen, but Foxx was unable, due to his commitment to Django and how strict Quentin Tarantino is when a actor is involved is his movies. So I suggested Lorenz Tate, I feel like its time for Lorenz to get the Oscar.
He also mentioned how difficult it was for him to secure a African American director, to come on board and direct the film, he said that John Singleton was involved at one point, and even Antoine Fuqua, but he was going to have a sit down with director Michael Mann.
Last night a YouTube video was uploaded by Ross and Cannon announcing to the world that Nick is going to portray Ross.
Nick announced "We family now, we are going to get this thing right. However long it takes, his story has got to be told."
