Voletta Wallace and CJ Wallace ring the bell on Wall Street earlier today.
It's been over a year since the casting took place for the Notorious B.I.G. movie, aptly called Notorious (much of it was filmed in Biggie's home borough of Brooklyn), and now the biopic is about to hit the big screen. Rolling Stone has the details on the soundtrack, and you can catch the movie yourself in theaters starting January 16th (the New York premiere was last night). Watch the trailer after the jump (listen up for this quote: "What kind of grown-ass man calls himself Puffy?").
The actor playing the rapper, Jamal “Gravy” Woolard, told the magazine after the screening: “I just wanted to read Ms. Wallace’s face. She was taking her glasses off, with a tissue and wiping her eyes. I felt like I won my victory, because I wanted her to feel like her son was next to her. And we hugged. We didn't have to say anymore after that." Earlier today Biggie's mom, Voletta, and son CJ were out helping churn the PR machine and ring the opening bell on Wall Street (pictured).

I'm looking forward to watching a bootleg of this film at home. Sitting through a movie wearing body armor in one of those theater seats is just uncomfortable.
OK, I do get the reference... but really it should be "Less Money, Fewer Problems."
Sorry, that less/fewer mix-up always bugs me.
I hope this movie will inspire children to follow their dreams of selling crack on the street corner so they can rap about money, furs, and slapping hoes down. It brings a tear to my eye too.
babyhitler, that's the funniest comment I have EVER read on this blog!!! Hysterical!!!
is it possible to lose a victory?
I just saw it at BAM, Jesse Jackson was there and asked everybody to stand up and then repeat things he was saying, but way less than half the place even stood up haha!
