He may not have been there to defend himself when former 'Essence' magazine editrix Diane Weathers held him out to dry on Monday's episode of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,' but Snoop Dogg is laughing all the way to the bank.
The West Coast hip-hop icon -- legally known as Cordozar Calvin Broadus -- is the ringleader of the new movie 'Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror' -- described as "a ghetto gothic anthology" featuring three stories served up in the fashion of 'Tales from the Crypt.'"
According to its synopsis, Dogg, plays the "hound of hell," a [tour] guide through three terrifying tales from this nefarious neighborhood and its depraved denizens, including a tagger who finds out that not all gangstas die hard; a spoiled heir to a Texas oil dynasty who murders for money but can't pay to stay alive; and a major rap star that discovers he's got a few skeletons in his dressing room ... and they're kicking down the door. This bone chilling, gut bursting (literally) anthology proves once and for all: "It AIN'T all good in da Hood!"
Oh okay.
According to publicist Edna Simms Porter Bruce, the film arrives in theaters May 4, and features "a fiendishly frightening blend of live action horror and gore-filled, supernatural anime sequences created by Japan's Madhouse under the supervision of Academy Award winner John Gaeta.
Directed by Academy Award nominee Stacy Title, 'Hood' also stars Billy Dee Williams, Ernie Hudson, Aries Spears, Method Man, Daniella Alonso, Pooch Hall, Brande Roderick, Jason Alexander, , and NBA stars Lamar Odom and Tayshaun Prince.
Rated R by the MPAA for pervasive strong violence, gore, sexuality, nudity and language, 'Hood of Horror' is produced by Social Capital Films, BloodWorks, and Snoopadelic Films, and will be distributed by Xenon Pictures, Inc.
