You can now check the actor box next to Game’s name. Game will be playing a vicious criminal in the Rogue Pictures feature Waist Deep alongside Larenz Tate, Tyrese and Meagan Good. Directed by Vondie Curtis Hall (who last helmed the acclaimed “Redemption,” starring Jamie Foxx), the movie began production this week.
Waist Deep is being produced by Preston Holmes (executive producer of Focus Features’ February release “Something New”). Ted Field (head of Radar Pictures), Russell Simmons and Stan Lathan are executive-producing the film, with Dwight Williams (executive producer of “Hustle & Flow”) line-producing.
Waist Deep follows an ex-con, O2 (Tyrese), who is suddenly plunged into a life-or-death situation. Trying to go straight for the sake of his young son Junior, O2 is forced to go back outside the law when Junior is kidnapped in a carjacking. His son is now in the hands of a vicious criminal leader, Meat (The Game). O2’s shady cousin Wanna Be (Larenz Tate) is caught between loyalties, and so the only person who can or will help O2 now is wily street-smart hustler Coco (Meagan Good). With the clock ticking down, the heat between them rises as they become a lawbreaking couple, on an action-packed tear through town to save Junior and outwit the underworld.
The movie just got underway filming and is expected to hit theaters next year.
