New Movies Behind the scenes: Brooklyn's Finest

Richard Gere is among the cast of a new movie which is to be released in 2009 (or it's release will be announced in 2009) titled "Brooklyn's Finest". This movie is currently in production with lots of filming in New York. I found some cool behind the scenes content and it looks like they are working on something noticeable on this movie set.

Brooklyn's Finest tells different stories of a group of police officers who are all related to a particular crime scene in some way. According to one Cinemablend article, these cops are corrupted. This could make for an entertaining movie to watch. We shall find out next year, or whenever Brooklyn's Finest is released. Richard Gere is just one highlight of this movie worth noting. He will also be joined by Ethan Hawke and Don Cheadle, two actors who have been favorites among movie fans for years.

The movie poster for Brooklyn's Finest is appealing. It gives the impression of cover art for one dark film, which may actually be the case. The MTV logo has me concerned. Not that MTV always makes bad films or gets involved with ones that flop, but their idea of good entertainment is sometimes different than the quality of films that say....are nominated for Academy Awards or even Independent Spirit Awards. Still, this is a nice looking poster. The colors and design make me want to find out what this movie is about, which could turn into me actually buying a movie ticket when it is released in theaters.

The fact that there are three cop-like shadows shown like they are deep in an alley somewhere is quite suspicuous. Cheers to the designer who created the poster. Now, whether or not this will be the actual poster that is marketed to the masses once Brooklyn's Finest is completed....who knows? If it is, it just may be worthwhile to moviegoers. Famed actor Wesley Snipes was also reported to be in this movie. However, I found an article that stated he was going to play a role that is currenly occupied by Don Cheadle. So, is Wesley Snipes in Brooklyn's Finest or not? I guess we will have to find that out once more press is released on this movie.

It wouldn't be odd if Wesley Snipes was going to do the role and then Don Cheadle replaced him for this movie. It's kind of like when they started casting for that Notorious B.I.G. movie and considered Forrest Whitaker for the main role and then looked for someone else. It's just normal Hollywood stuff. How about this for some interesting behind-the-scenes information: The New York Post reported that a scene from Brookyln's Finest had to be cut because they had a parking issues with the city (NY, that is). That report seems to be a rumor though.

Now, this movie was not written by a famous Hollywood screenwriter who had years of experience and a dozen of produced films to brag about. Apparenltly, Brooklyn's Finest was a script written by a guy who worked at a tollbooth in New York. He entered it into a screenwriting competition with hopes that the prize money would help him to purchase a new car. Instead, the script put on the radar of a Warner Bros. Studio producer who was looking for someone to write a sequel to the 90's hit, New Jack City. Examining how this all went down, it now seems understandable how Wesley Snipes would be involved withBrooklyn's Finest because he was probably already on the casting list for that New Jack gangster sequel.
