Maybe some of you remember when I posted the candids from the set of the film back in September? Well filming wrapped up for “American Gangster” around November and the trailer was released this week. Denzel Washington stars as Frank Lucas, the real-life heroin kingpin from Manhattan who smuggled the drug into the country in the coffins of American soldiers returning from the Vietnam War.
The film also includes an allstar cast of Russell Crowe, Cuba Gooding Jr, T.I, and Common. There has already been a bit of Oscar buzz surrounding this film, I look forward to seeing it. Seems like a great and intense crime film…
The film is scheduled to hit theaters November 2nd, 2007
T.I looks so sexy in the trailer.
The movie looks like its going to be good. I seen this trailer earlier today and I was like look at T.I. or T.I.P. with his lil fro. So cute.
i’d love to see this movie… and T.I.’s playing a diff role this time… i hope we see some growth in his acting… but yeah he’s still sexy…
Wow i am first again, its so exciting, FIRST.
That is a cool poster for the film.
Excited to see my big homie Denzel’s new flick and of course you got the Jigga track playing in the trailer.
wow wow…this looks intriguing
Yea. this rigth here is my type sh_t! Loves movies like this one right there!
Not feelin’ it. Frank Lucas helped the drug trade ruin my people. I am not giving them mofos a dime.
Denzel go find a blonde chick and roll out!!!
TI…tiny is callin’ you…
Cuba, time to buy your wifey another guilt gift brotha!!!
Russell make sure you got your cell on you man!
Common I was gon let you slide but I am still mad about you ripping off that old Miracles joint and no credit….that was my jam..don’t trip..
I WOILL BE SEEING THIS FILM NO DOUBT…BUT DAMN! OUTTA EVERYONE IN THE MOVIE ALL PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IS T.I. OR TIP OR WHATEVER HE’S CALLING HIMSELF THESE DAYS! NOW I AINT HATIN BUT DAMN….CAN WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE OTHER BLACK FOLKS IN THE FILM?!?
OH SHYT, ANOTHER PAID IN FULL TYPE MOVIE…
YA GIRL BROOKLYN WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE IN THE BUILDING.
BIG THINGS POPPINNNNNNNNNNNN!. HOLD IT DOWN BABY.
yeah this looks like it is going to be a real good movie. I’m pretty sure that they are not going to make frank lucas out to be a hero. It looks like an old school gangster flick like the godfather, casino, or hoodlum. If they true to his real story in the end it didnt turn out so good for him.

damnn T.I. lookin soo fine in that trailer. i hope he got a big part in the movie and not a little role. i can`t wait til this movie comes out. im mos def gonna go watch it.
Damn does Denzel ever stop with the making of the brilliant movies..I swear everything this man touch is straight GOOOLLLLLLLDDDDD! I will be seeing this movie…even though it seems like it’s glorifying the drug trade among african americans. # 8 LIZZY I do agree with you said on that..but it’s always good to have some history on your people, whether its postive or negative…so I will be watching this movie. For the knowledge..and for entertainment purposes lol!
damnnn in the coffin of dead soldiers?? thats messed up. But denzel is in so i gottaaa see it!
The Poster is TighT! – Im bout 2 bite! LOL
AKON IS AN ANIMAL. THAT BOY HE THREW LANDED ON A WOMEN AND HER 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THE WOMEN SUFFERED A CONCUSION AND IS PRESSING CHARGES ON THAT BITCH!!!!!!!
I’m very much looking foward to this movie. It looks like it’s brilliant, maybe Denzel is up for another Oscar, maybe even a nomination.
Reading those excerps from the Nicky Barnes autobiography that Myra Panache publishes on her website has made me look forward to seeing Denzel play the character of Frank Lucas. It really looks very interesting. And of course I wanna see how Common will fare this time, after his appearance in Smokin’ Aces.
If D-Washington is in it, i’m gonna see it cuz king kong ain’t got shit on him. Also, there are a lot of young male black actors that need roles, why the hell they keep going to rappers, i mean t.i. and common are aight, but come on fam, they haven’t paid acting dues to be in a role wit Denzel. I can’t even name three popular young male black celebs, who just act and dats a shame.
Damn… everybody and they momma is up in this movie! Even Ruby Dee and T.I.! Looks like a must-see to me. Interesting to see Denzel and Russell Crowe working together again, I remember Crowe not being too pleased when he lost to Denzel for Best Actor a couple of years back.
i will definitely see it. If its like most gangsta movies, it will look like its glorifying the crime at the beginning, but then all things will go to hell at the end
I cant wait for that film to come out………………also ive heard that spike lee is doing a film based on black soliders during world war 2, thats gonna be big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i too would like to see how Common does in this film. His acting was aight in smokin aces, but he was still kinda stiff.
overall, looks like a good film. Look out for Chiwetel Ejiofor (not sure if thats how u spell it) that English black actor. Now THAT’s an Actor. soon he’ll get his own Oscar,
WOW ! I love Densel Washington ! But november ?! I live in France, so for us it will be for 2008.
Merde !
Any movie with denzel in it…doesnt need much convincing for me to see…mmm mmm mmm
Watch he’ll win a oscar for this one too!
Im feelin the promo poster, I need one of them. Its looks like a black scarface poster
Ooh Im Interested in seeing this!!! It looks like it’s going to be good
the movie looks good and lets remember people it is only a movie!!! why does it matter that it glorifies the drug trade? it is telling a story and it has a whole bunch oh heavy hitters that’s sure to make this movie a classic! denzel and russel crowe together surely equals an oscar.
Looks to be an excellent film
even if it is an assualt on our subconcious.
You thinkscarface was bad?
Wait until black children see someone who looks like them in a role as a drug kingpin who oversees white folks.
IDk about this one
I saw the advertisement last year.I can’t wait to see the movie.Denzel always does his thing.I love Ti ,but Denzel is my “MAN”.Do what you do best Denzel ,get that Oscar.
Denzel is that dude! I can’t wait to see this movie…this is a very good opportunity for Tip. Damn, I’m actually getting excited about this flick lol…
THIS MOVIE GOES SO HARD! ALL DEXE SEXY MEN IN ONE FILM! SOUNDS LIKE A GIRLS NIGHT OUT!, LOL
I’ll be there on Nov. 2, first in line….and I’ll have that shit next week
I wanna see this movie so bad. I love it when Denzel plays the bad guy. A november release is good (right before the oscar qualification deadline) and this movie looks oscar worthy.
Damn
why couldn’t his wife be an african american woman in the film?
As all the ladies before me mentioned I’ll go see anything with T.I. sexyself in it. The movie looks good.
denzel may win another oscar…but, I like him in “training day”…
Cuba Gooding Jr, need to quit it with that Cialis Ad! That fool got his woody stuck in the elevator door! lol!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO@DAT EVIL SHIRT! HEY KHARY!
Scarface lived good in the middle, but if I do recall he did get shot the fuck up in the end, so he wasn’t the king of the world for long so…whatever.
Denzel is the shit; it will be good, no doubt. FYI, Pauletta…I love your husband!
OOOH ME LIKE
Yup, my black ass will be one of the first people in line to see the movie. Im not really into these type of movies but this one seems like it will get my andrenaline rushing. Denzel looked s fine in Training day, big piece of chocolate.
Love,Peace,&&Honeyy
A must see for. I smell Oscar nomination.
Take that sh*t Tony Soprano! Ha! Lol.
This movie looks good as hell. I will be seeing it the night it comes out.
I love period pieces set around the 60s and 70s anyway, so I am geeked.
Cant wait to see it…
I CAN’T WAIT!
Can’t wait to see this shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt, ya digggggg
Lil Wayne Presents- The Drought Is Over Part 2: The Carter 3 Sessions….only at http://www.YOUHEARDTHATNEW.com
this movie looks like its going to be a hit.i guarantee you if you dont go 6 hours early to get tickets,you wont be getting in.
denzel washington is one talented black man,you can tell his delivery is going to be good JUST FROM THIS TRAILER.im really excited about this one
Looks like this is going to be a good one.
But Im torn on how I feel about the story. Is it a story of glory, in that he was a black man above the mafia… or of tragedy, b/c he was instrumental in providing heroin to his own people?
Damnit, I don’t care. It’s denzel! Can’t go wrong with that!
I’ll definitely be going to see this.
I cant wait to see the film!!! I love Denzel!!
I love these type of movies. And with Denzel in it, its a must see. Like the name American Gangster. Remember the shows on b.E.T, they had called American Gangster, those were good.
YUSEF X u had a very good point about what the message will send to our young kids, but then again parents have to teach right from wrong.
The movie looks like its going to be great, but whats up with the rappers in movies man, im getting a lil sick of it.
This looks like a good movie. No one plays a bad guy like Denzel! Training Day is still one of my favorite movies!
Ha ha we got our own SCARFACE….black peeps stand up
In the profound words of fitty cent: America got a thing for this gangsta Shit/ They love me
I hope he lives…whoo hoo for the bad guy
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Denzel Washington is the definition of SWAGGER. Never more evident than in this clip.
Idris Elba is in this movie also. Should be off the chain.
kind.
Cosign with #22 (way up there), I also love Chiwetel Ejiofor! He’s actually Nigerian but grew up in London. Much love to all my fellow Nigerians
This movie looks TIGHT! Denzel does it agin, love that man. Ya’ll saw two seconds of T.I with a lil fro and ya’ll losing ya’ll MINDS! Lol
ooo this movie looks so good, im am very proud of t.i not alot of rappers can do what he does and im glad he pickS good parts cuz im sick of seeing other rapper playin parts and cant act, common is another rapper im happy about i hope they did a good job in this movie its not every day u get to be in a movie with Mr.Washington
I AGREE WITH #18 THEY SHOULD HAVE PICKED SOME UP N COMING BLACK ACTORS
FOR EXAMPLE
Lee Thompson Young
Brian White
just to name a few
Damn I’m all kinds of late. I wonder if the character Denzel plays was profiled on BET’s American Gangster? I know one of those dudes was a drug kinpin. I’ll be watching the movie not so much for the great story line, or the high quality of actors, NO, I’M WATCHING FOR THE FINE ASS BROTHERS IN THE MOVIE!! Denzel, Common & T.I. thats bananas!!!
