KEYSHIA COLE, FABOLOUS IN NEW ‘HOOD’ FILM: Executive producer is fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. Yes, you read right.
*Blackfilm.com is reporting that Keyshia Cole and Fabolous will star in a new feature film to be executive produced by Karl Lagerfeld, the iconic fashion designer best known for his dark shades and constant toting of an Oriental fan.
Titled “Only the Hood Dies Young,” the story follows a young brother, Jeffrey Green (Fabolous), who gets caught up in the drug game. His love interest will be portrayed by Cole.
”It's a cautionary tale and depicts a generation that's lost,” director Robert Yasim Wright tells Blackfilm.com. “We'll start shooting in the middle of October in South Jamaica, Queens.”
Wright also says it was a “blessing” to get Lagerfeld on board.
“He loved the story. He said the drug problem is global, and that it's not limited,” says Wright. “In writing the story, I created a situation that explains the behavior as opposed to just the behavior itself. I wanted to explain the behavior of disadvantaged youth.”
