Lil’ Wayne is set to star in the Weinstein Co.’s sports movie, tentatively titled, Patriots, with Forest Whitaker and Bow Wow.
He is rumored to be playing a character named Lamont, who is a student from a New Orleans high school. He is said to be skeptical of the school’s new basketball team.
“Wayne went from a supporting role to a major role in the movie because he read so well,” Universal’s vice president of marketing Katina Bynum tells Billboard.com. “We’re all very excited and looking forward to it, especially since they reached out to him for this positive role as opposed to a stereotypical one.”
The movie is slated to be in theaters by November 2008.
