B.I.G. Gets Immortalized.

Submitted by ACasanova on Mon, 10/08/2007 - 13:11.

"It was all a dream". 100's of hopefuls showed up today for their chance to be a part of the B.I.G. movie that will come to light soon enough. I wonder who will play Diddy?

New York Times:

“They came from Massachusetts, Florida, and Canada, and from Flatbush, Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy. There were fur coats and fedoras, shades and patterned Coogi sweaters, and enough extra poundage to tip a Mack truck. On Saturday, nearly 100 people turned up on a quiet street in Chelsea to audition for their chance to be B.I.G.”

Bab-a-bay-be!
