The Weinstein Company who is producing the Lil Wayne and Bow Wow movie “Hurricane Season“, have announced it has been postponed indefinitely. Due to major financial issues and recent layoffs, the Weinstein Company cannot afford to go along with the marketing and final production. The movie which features Lil Wayne as a punk high school kid, and Bow Wow as the main basketball star had a multi-million dollar budget. Forest Whitaker was also going to play a major role, and the movie would definitely have an urban appeal. Hopefully the movie “Hurricane Season” won’t receive the dreaded straight to DVD treatment. Once we receive more news about the movie and if it will ever hit theaters, we’ll let you know.
Back in June it was reported that Lil Wayne, Bow Wow, and Forest Whitaker had a movie coming soon called “Hurricane Season“, however it was put on hold due to financial reasons. The Weinstein Company who was producing and marketing the movie could not afford it at the time due to other projects, one of them being the new Quentin Tarantino hit “Inglorious Basterds“. Well “Inglorious Basterds” has grossed over $140 million so far, and only cost $70 million to make, so the Weinstein Company will be pulling “Hurricane Season” off the shelves and getting it ready. What exactly does that mean for Lil Wayne, and Bow Wow? You will get to see Lil Weezy play a seventeen year old high school student who hates his high school’s basketball team, and Bow Wow is actually the star player on the basketball team. This is definitely worth the wait, and should be money well spent to see this one in theaters.
