HUSTLE & FLOW's Craig Brewer to shoot greatest exploitation film title ever... BLACK SNAKE MOAN!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... This news makes me smile like an Eddie Murphy animated character. Back in March when Craig Brewer dropped into town during SXSW week to show me HUSTLE & FLOW... At the dinner afterwards he told me about a film he was making next called BLACK SNAKE MOAN... and yes, it is every bit as filthy as that title insinuates.

My memory is a tad hazy, but I seem to remember that he was saying the film was to be in the spirit of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE and involves a white nymphomaniac girl that ends up chained to a guy's bed for perpetual usage. Things don't go well and violence and sex and much drama flows all over the place. At the time, he told me that the hope was that he would be shooting the film this summer.

Well - over at BlackFilm.Com - they've got a story about how Christina Ricci has been cast as the nubile nympho... and that SAM JACKSON is aboard to fill the first 2 thirds of the title character. Folks - I know how sleazy and slimy this premise sounds... but I guarantee that the second after you've seen HUSTLE & FLOW, the tone and look of the film... followed by complete confidence in Craig Brewer will come along and like a semi knock you out and dreaming about BLACK SNAKE MOAN. Craig is a major new talent, and we have John Singleton to thank for bringing him to our stage! This will be Ricci's best role since she was hauling Barbara Streisand portraits 'round Vegas!
