O.J. Simpson
*O.J. Simpson is going to be locked up for a long time, but it’s not keeping him from touching millions around the globe.
The disgraced former NFL great could be appearing on big screens pretty soon in a film all about his life.
“The Unpromotable” feature’s the fallen star’s journey through the eyes of O.J.’s former right hand man Norman Pardo.
Simpson rose to glory as a huge football star in the early 70s, and was commonly pictured with numerous women, spreading his enchanting charm.
But life and fame took a totally different turn when his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman were found dead. It was a moment in history no one could dare forget; from the trial to the acquittal in 1995, it was a dramatic soap opera/reality show.
Pardo’s film may be about “the hardest man in America to promote,” but Simpson never gave in to the public’s opinion of him as his wife’s killer, he tells the Daily News.
“O.J. never felt there was anything negative about him at all,” Pardo, 51, said. “Even to this day, he never sees it. Maybe he blocks it out.”
Regardless of how O.J. saw and sees himself, the public attacked Prado for working with an accused murder.
“I got death threats,” he said earnestly. “Everybody wanted me dead. Nobody liked that he was out there again.”
The flick is going to be pretty interesting and will mock the racial undertones that were present during O.J.’s trial. But according to Pardo, the film will be held off until after the election so not to conflict with the potential reelection of a black president.
Craig Brand, who has served as a lawyer for Simpson for 15 years and introduced Pardo and Simpson in 1999, has seen the film and believes that Simpson will love it.
“It’s fantastic,” he said. “It’s a culmination (and) a tell-tale movie.”
The lawyer also confirmed that Pardo speaks with Simpson, who was found guilty of kidnapping, robbery and using a deadly weapon in 2008 and is serving a 33-year sentence in Nevada.
“We just talk about happy things because he’s really depressed right now,” Pardo said. “But he works out every day, he’s really buffed up.”
Pardo said Simpson coaches the inmate softball team and covers his cell walls with happy images. “He has some pictures of squirrels,” Pardo said, adding that his wife “sends him pictures of our puppies, too, and our swans, and baby swans. . . . So his place is full of animal pictures.”
“But according to Pardo, the film will be held off until after the election so not to conflict with the potential reelection of a black president.’…ummmm someone’s goals and aspirations are a bit lofty i would say…..this film will be lucky if 10 theaters run it…
Too bad for OJ! They used him and then threw his ass under the bus and he knows he dare not talk about it. He knows that his in-laws were still on the highway heading home to Dana Point, Orange County from Brentwood. LA and only arriving home as they initially stated at approximately 11PM. His mother-in-law Juditha Brown said she called his former wife Nicole at approx 11PM which was when OJ was entering a chauffeur driven Limousine to catch his 11:45PM flight from LAX and not the 9:37 PM his own attys agreed to enter by stipulation. They continue to lie to the public about counter acting the black anger still festering 2 years after the Rodney King police brutality acquittal and riots, with white anger centered around falsely accusing OJ of the murders of a white woman and Jewish man. Now no one can remember anything specific about the Rodney King Trial, police drug trafficking, or Freeway Rick Ross and Congresswoman Maxine Waters calling for an investigation of the CIA’s involvement with allowing massive amounts of cocaine to enter the US via California by the Nicaraguan Contra rebels. They fed us OJ all the time, and he must keep his mouth shut and do that time he got set up on in Vegas. Too bad, so sad!
