This weekend is the premiere of a new show set and shot right here in Chicago… 61st Street stars Courtney B. Vance and Aunjanue Ellis. It’s a thriller that follows what happens after a drug bust gone violently wrong in Woodlawn. The show is already locked into two seasons and will explores the inequities, relationships of life on our South Side life. You can catch it on AMC tomorrow night or streaming on AMC+ and ALLBLK.
And also watch out for Eddie Murphy to star in a new biopic about the life of the Godfather of Funk and leader of Parliament-Funkadelic, George Clinton. He’s in early talks now to also produce the film as part of his three-picture deal with Amazon… it’s expected to come after he shoots Beverly Hills Cop 4 this summer. Eddie just celebrated his 61st birthday last Sunday.
