Ice
T
stars in a new flick directed by Abel Ferrara(King Of New York), titled "R Xmas." The flick,
which was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival Thursday (May
10th), is a strange Christmas tale about drug dealers and
corrupt policemen.
Ice T plays
a racist gangster and also stars Drea de Matteo and Lillo
Brancato of the HBO Mafia series “The Sopranos."
When asked
about the film’s content, screenwriter Scott Pardo said “If
we’d been doing a film about a law firm, we wouldn’t have
had the characters saying ‘f###’ all the time. We didn’t make
this film for a puritanical audience.
The plot
centers around Drea de Matteo and Brancato, who play the parents
of a pampered and protected little girl in 1993 New York City.
On first appearances, they are a normal family, yet they run
a highly successful drug-dealing business, cutting their heroin
with pharmaceutical precision and allotting it to a team of
dealers who operate in New York’s toughest neighborhoods.
Ice is currently
slated to start work on a new flick directed by Fred Williamson
titled "Deadly Rhapsody."
