From Prison To Coachella, Next Stop: The Big Screen…AGAIN

Who knew when or even if DMX would make it to the big screen again. At one point in time he was doing it big in the film industry. From “Cradle to the Grave” to his iconic role as Tommy in “Belly” amongst his other roles. This is a great start to what seems to be a pretty prominent comeback since his was released from prison back in January.

The rapper is certainly on a roll, not only is he looking healthy and happy. He has had a couple of opportunities to perform a few shows. With the most recent being a pop up at Kanye West’s Sunday service at Coachella. Now the big dog is heading back to film.

He will cast in the upcoming thriller “Chronicle of a Serial Killer” as one of the lead detectives tracking the down a killer. Costars of the film include Brendan Saxton and Tara Reid.

“Casting DMX as Detective White to me is a perfect fit. As a director, I always like going against the grain a bit. Also being familiar with his work over the years I have no doubt he is going to bring a different dynamic to the role. It will be fun working with him and the rest of the cast on this one,” director Steve Stanulis.

The films rep, Zack Teperman, added, “It’s going to be awesome seeing DMX on-screen with Tara Reid. Factor in Jake Busey, Michael Madsen and Brendan Sexton… such a dynamic group of talent, this film is going to be a thriller!”

What The Future Might Bring

The movie will begin filming in June. As of now there is no official release date for the film.

DMX served time for tax evasion. His lawyer told TMZ at the time that DMX was excited to get back to his huge family. Which by the way includes his 15 children.

The offers have steadily been rolling in. DMX reportedly had been getting offers from movie producers about a biopic. On top of that with all his spare time in prison he managed to do a lot of songwriting and is planning on dropping a new album any time now.
