Craig Brewer wants to be GANG LEADER FOR A DAY!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you're a regular Colbert watcher, you might be like me and recognize this book, GANG LEADER FOR A DAY, from author Sudir Venkatesh's appearance on the show to pimp this book. Sudir spent years befriending the Chicago gangs for research and chronicled the society that formed in the gang communities. He even got to lead for a day, hence the title.
BLACK SNAKE MOAN's Craig Brewer will direct for Paramount Vantage and they've hired SOPRANOS scribe Michael Caleo will pen. I really dig Brewer's style and this could be a good fit.

I've always wanted to be first. And Hustle and Flow owns, so I'm down for anything Brewer related.

Memos From Purgatory. Gangs are bad, mmkay? They, like, kill people and stuff. Yo, yo, yo, nawm sayin'? Just do a Michael Douglas Falling Down on their asses. End of gang problem.

wish Brewer would expand his pallet though.

From Heroes. We don't have many Indian actors.

a series of articles for the NY Times where he watched The Wire with a group of New York gang members and got their opinions of the show and each season 5 episode. What does this mean? I don't know, but any excuse to bring up The Wire....

just FYI...but I do like Creg Bruer, I'm ecxited for this...

Needs to do something new. He's putting himself in a box and I think he could do some great work if he tried out other genres
-
Dude is my former teacher and mentor. I am very proud of him and the work he does. Also check out his documentary entitled: "Dislocation." Powerful stuff.

Doesn't get much more "real" than that...

NPR had a more in depth, very interesting interview with Sudhir a while back. Colbert definitely had some fun with him, though. This could be good.
