Master P. Launches HollyHood Cinemas, Preps New Movie 'Repos'
No Limit Records head Master P. will mark Independence Day with the release of Repos, a new DVD released on his HollyHood Cinema production company.
The film, which stars P. Kat Williams, A.J. Johnson and Michael Blackston, is the first of 100 DVD movies the rapper will release by 2007. Each DVD will include a free CD soundtrack.
“If I had to compare any of my movies to any movies out there I would compare them to Uptown Saturday Night; it’s funny, it has a great cast, and it’s meaningful,” Master P. told AllHipHop.com.
Master P. believes HollyHood Cinema is the new outlet for talented actors and actresses whose skills go unrecognized due to the traditional Hollywood politics. “I feel hands down that Kat Williams is the next Richard Prior, A.J. Johnson is the next Bill Cosby, and Michael Blackston is the next Sidney Poitier,” Master P. added.
The entertainment business is focusing more on the visual entertainment due to the internet downloading of music, according to Master P, who added that most of his consumers don’t like going to the movie theaters.
As a result, HollyHood will target those who want to enjoy top quality, high definition, dramas and comedy in the comfort of their homes.
HollyHood follows the rap mogul’s recent announcement of the creation of his reality television show, America’s Next Hip-Hop Stars. Master P will host the show, which will feature 12 solo artists and six groups performing hip-hop songs to be critiqued by a panel of celebrity judges. A $50,000 recording deal will be offered to the winning rapper and group.
Repos, slated for release on July 4, will be available at retail stores, including Blockbuster, Wal-Mart and Target. For more information on the movie, visit www.reposmovie.com
