A remake of Rudy Ray Moore's 1975 movie Dolemite will finally come to the big screen, almost 30 years after the original movie hit theaters.

The movie centers around a pimp named Dolemite, who is released from prison, after being framed. He fights an assortment of enemies in the film, along with a group of kung-fu fighting prostitutes.

The rights to the movie have been secured by Fallout Entertainment, a company that his produced movies like Posse (which featured Big Daddy Kane), Car 54, Where Are You?, Tapeheads and others.

Fallout Entertainment is in the initial stages of casting for the film and Snoop Dogg is reportedly in negotiations to have a role in the film, which begins shooting this fall in Los Angeles and possibly New Orleans. (source)

Best. News. Ever. I'm pretty sure the majority of you are looking at the screen with the gas face on but I haven't been this excited about something since the McRib made a comeback. Now my question to you is who would you like to see play the role of Dolemite? You already know who I'm rolling with. For the record, if this man doesn't get a lifetime achievement honor at the BET Awards this year I promise you I will shoot up the parking lot after the show.
