(12/05/02, 10 a.m ET) - Gladys Knight and Kurupt play mother and son in the Columbia Pictures film Hollywood Homicide that is scheduled to reach theaters on June 13.
In the movie that stars Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett, Kurupt portrays K-Ro, the manager of a fictional rap group killed during a performance. In the film, Ford (Joe Gavilian) and Hartnett (K.C. Calden) are the homicide detectives investigating the murder.
"They're looking for me to really find out what's going on with this murder," Kurupt told LAUNCH. "I go to my momma's house, that's Gladys. It's a big chase scene. It's exciting. I can't give it all to you."
Director Ron Shelton picked Kurupt for the role after working with him on the Kurt Russell film Dark Blue. "I didn't have to read for this one," Kurupt said. "He liked my performance so much that he said, 'I already started writing my next movie. And you're one of the main characters. And I already got you wrote in.'"
Kurupt also appears in the Steven Seagal film Half Past Dead, released in November 2002.
