Okay...so I have details on the movie(s).
Tanner Hall will be played by Ice Cube (I guess they sound alike).
It won't be one movie, it is going to be a trilogy (think Lord of the Rings, but with that ghetto hip-pity hop talk and broken ankles).
The first installment (roughly 3 hrs in length) will release in fall/winter of this year (for oscar consideration, of course).
That's all I know right now, but I'll get you guys more information as it becomes available.
