About Me |
|
Frank Lucas by Tony_Montana The man I worked for had one of the biggest companies in New York City. He didn't own his own company. White man owned it, so they owned him. Nobody owns me, though. See, ya are what ya are in this world. That's either one of two things: Either you're somebody, or you ain't nobody. |

I'd like to meet:I got Harlem. I took care of Harlem, so Harlem's gonna take care of me. Heart of the City by Tony_Montana ***NOTE** this is NOT the actual Frank Lucas running this profile, i am NOT frank Lucas nor am i Denzel Washington, this is just a tribute profile for fans of the film to enjoy, i do not support drug dealing or the use of violence. TRIVIA: * Antoine Fuqua was originally set to direct this project in 2004 with Denzel Washington and Benicio Del Toro starring, but production was halted one month before shooting after Universal Pictures canceled the film over budget concerns. * Dania Ramirez was originally cast in the film when Antoine Fuqua was still directing the production. * After Terry George's screenplay was turned down, Steven Zaillian was re-hired to write another draft of his own screenplay. * The real Richie Roberts and Frank Lucas were major consultants to director Ridley Scott on the New York set of this film. * When Terry George was set to direct the film with Don Cheadle in the leading role, Joaquin Phoenix was a definite consideration for the role of Richie Roberts. Phoenix previously co-starred with Russell Crowe in Gladiator (2000), which was also directed by Ridley Scott. * Russell Crowe requested tape recordings of Richie Roberts speaking in order to match his voice mannerisms accurately. * During the very first stages of production, this film had a number of different titles, such as "Tru Blu" and "The Return of Superfly". * Screenwriter Terry George was brought on to rewrite the script in order to downsize the project's budget to $50 million when it was first revitalized in March 2005. George had planned on reuniting with his Hotel Rwanda (2004) lead, Don Cheadle, to portray Frank Lucas, the Harlem heroin kingpin. * When director Antoine Fuqua was attached to the project, he pursued Ray Liotta and John C. Reilly for supporting roles. This was one of many budget-related concerns that lead to Universal's cancellation of this production while it was under Fuqua's management. * When this project was canceled by Universal, actors Denzel Washington and Benicio Del Toro received their salaries nonetheless. A pay-or-play deal was stipulated in both of their contracts that Universal would pay Washington $20 million and Del Toro $5 million regardless of whether the film was made or not. When this project was green-lit a second time by Universal, Washington received another $20 million, ultimately pocketing $40 million on this motion picture. * Denzel Washington spent time with Frank Lucas, his real-life alter ego in this film. As a sign of gratitude, Washington bought Lucas a Rolls-Royce after filming wrapped. * While filming on-location in the Chiang Mai province of Thailand, Ridley Scott hired many extras from the local villages, some of whom were actual participants in the drug-running operation of Frank Lucas during the Vietnam War. * Director Ridley Scott had read the first draft of Steven Zaillian's screenplay before filming Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and instantly became interested in directing it. While filming his next feature, A Good Year (2006), Scott and Russell Crowe extensively discussed the project, which ultimately led to them signing on. * Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt were director Ridley Scott and producer Brian Grazer's first two choices to portray Richie Roberts. Crowe was ultimately cast in the role. Wallpaper: |
