In 2000, Universal Studios and Imagine Entertainment purchased the rights to "The Return of Superfly", a New York magazine story by Mark Jacobson about the rise and fall of the 1970s heroin kingpin Frank Lucas. In November 2003, Universal and Imagine entered negotiations with director Brian De Palma to helm Tru Blu, with a script by Steve Zaillian based on Frank Lucas. Production of Tru Blu was reset to begin in early fall 2004, with the film slated for a release date of June 3, 2005. In September 2004, actress Dania Ramirez entered negotiations to join the cast of the film, now titled American Gangster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gangster_%28film%29#Development Nov 25 07, 12:55 PM
