When it comes to the city’s tabloids, product placement and films, the New York Post always appears to get all the love. But in Notorious, the Biggie Smalls movie that opens today, the Daily News finally gets some coverage even if it’s spelled funny.
Just last week, the full trailer was released for “Notorious,” the biopic about the rise and fall of rapper Christopher George Latore Wallace aka Biggie Smalls, played by Brooklyn MC Jamal “Gravy” Woolard. But it doesn’t look like they’re done filming just yet, with signs going up on Humboldt Street and Flushing Avenue warning residents to move their cars or face forced relocation. They’re shooting on Sunday right next to the Bushwick Houses housing projects. With the movie scheduled to drop on January 16th of 2009, less than 3 months away, we doubt we’ll catch Gravy sleeping this time around.

On Fulton Street in Brooklyn, the cameras are rolling on “Notorious,” the biopic about legendary rapper Biggie Smalls. They must be shooting his adolescence since they broke out the old school yellow and blue New York license plates for the later model cars lining the block, including this red 3-series BMW sporting a “Money” vanity plate. According to a swift moving PA who really didn’t have time to chit-chat, this is Puffy’s whip in the movie—in real life Sean “Puffy” Combs is executive producing the film. More cars and a bonus shot of a very sleepy Jamal “Gravy” Woolard—who’s playing B.I.G. after the jump.
