Notorious: Behind The Scenes

Straight Jacked from MTV.com

"I want to make it feel like a concert," director George Tillman Jr. said during a visit to the set of the Notorious B.I.G. biopic, which hits theaters January 16. "Like you're right there in the middle of a show. ... On that day, it felt like I was performing with [Big], 'cause you go out backstage to shoot scenes, you see entourages, you see people with their own cliques hanging out. I felt like I was with a rap star."

---I can't wait for this movie to come out. I've been waiting for a year since I heard this film was in production. I'm glad that this movie was shot as a bio-pic and not as a documentary.
