*Big Daddy Kane has signed on as an executive producer for "The Vapors," the forthcoming movie about his former hip hop collective, The Juice Crew.
"I got a call from Marley Marl one day and he and some people was trying to get this film together," Big Daddy Kane told AllHipHop.com. "Now we finally got it happening and I got involved. Now it seems like it’s very realistic and it’s actually gonna happen in the next two months."
Kane was a member of the Queens-based Juice Crew, along with producer Marl, Roxanne Shante, MC Shan and Biz Markie.
The film's casting director, Red Sable, said roles are still being filled, however four principals are confirmed: Clifton Powell as Juice Crew co-founder Mr. Magic, Keke Palmer as Roxanne Shante, Evan Ross as MC Shan, Jackie Long as Big Daddy kane and Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Marley Marl.
"All other roles are still under negotiation," said Sable.
Rapper David Banner had been cast as Biz Markie at one point, but Sable told Allhiphop.com that a scheduling conflict forced him to drop out of the project.
