"True to the game" written by Terri Woods is a drama love story set in the 1980s. The main characters are Quadir and Gena. Quadir whom is a native of New York meets Gena, a philly girl, and introduces her to his fast paced drug dealing lifestyle.
The book sold millions of copies world wide. The success was so major for the book, Teri Woods signed a deal with Manny Halley who has acquired the rights to the book; they are bringing the words to life on the big screen.
Woods and Halley have started putting their film/television group together. Nia hill will be the writer and director. Leah Daniels-Butler is set to be the casting director for True to the Game. She was responsible for the casting in "The Butler," "Precious," "ATL," and "Empire."
Columbus Short, Evan Ross, Erica Peeples and Draya Michele have been added to the cast. Draya will be playing Quadir's ex "Cherrell." The movie is set to start filming this year in 2015, which means we could expect the project to be completed by next year or early 2017.
We're very excited about this!
