DETROIT PREMIER FOR "TRUE TO THE GAME"

TRUE TO THE GAME RED CARPET PREMIER

The red carpet was laid out at the Royal Oak, MI Emagine Theater for a night for the stars. It was for actresses Erica Peeples and Vivica A. Fox who were in town to promote the new film True To The Game, a movie adaptation from the New York Times Best Selling author Teri Woods' novel of the same title. This was a homecoming for Erica Peeples, the actress, poet and dancer who was born and raised in Mount Clemens, Mi. It was there that she started acting with the Mosaic theater group and then later became a graduate of Julliard School. She has starred in several plays and a few television series and now her first lead role in the film True To The Game which she plays Gena, the love interest to Quadir portrayed by Columbus Short. The story is based on Quadir who is a big time drug dealer who wants to retire but falls in love with Gena who really had no desire to date anyone associated with the drug game. The two eventually start dating but with him trying to exit the street life, but it will not be easy for him as other thugs make a drastic and deadly attempt to take his crown as king of the street. The depiction of the game is raw and gritty, with graphic violence. That is the life of a hustler of the streets out to make that dollar peddling dope. Also starring in the movie that is rated R is Vivica A. Fox, Nafessa Williams, Starletta DuPois, Andra Fuller, Stanley Atwater, Draya Michele, Jennifer Freeman, Malcolm David Kelley and the late Nelsan Ellis. The red carpet premier which had two sold out theaters launched the opening this Friday for the movie to limited theaters, so if you attend the theater to see the movie please make sure that you check your ticket stub to make sure that it is for True To The Game. 

It was a good time hanging at the premier, then tracking out to Mount Clemens to the after party at the Emerald Theater where Erica was given an award from the mayor of the city. Then she and Vivica were entertained by acts Revnee, Jessica Betts and Erica's brother Anton Peeples, with comedienne and radio personality CoCo serving as host for the event. The party was filled with Erica's family and friends who came out to congratulate her on a job well done for her first starring role. Now you know your manz was on hand to freeze frame some moments.

This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER!!!
