Redman And Method Man Starring In New Films - AllHipHop

Redman And Method Man Starring In New Films

Def Jam, Paramount and MTV Films are banding together to create an untitled military comedy for Method Man and Redman. The story follows the misadventures of the two, after they join the military and become involved in a covert operation overseas. The duo have several films in the works. After starring in the modestly successful "How High" together last year, the duo are playing drug cops in an untitled film. They will also star in a comedy "Ghetto Inc.," which is about three best friends who form a rap label as their escape route from the ghetto. Method Man was also cast in Eddie Griffin’s latest comedy, "My Baby’s Mama." "Def Jam has always believed that we are a lifestyle company," Lyor Cohen, Chairman of Island Def Jam Music Group told AllHipHop.com. "We aren’t just a record company. We are getting into films, games, television and seeking additional ways to make money. This should not be a surprise to anyone." Cohen recently teamed with a HP Media, product placement company to explore the idea of rappers exploiting their fame to make additional income. "You think Ja Rule would have rapped about Izod if I said this little alligator is going to pay you some scrilla and help you with the video that you have to pay for? I think he would have.” Cohen said. The banding together of these marketing companies may create new opportunities in cross-promotions. "We will continue our efforts towards the browing of America through music, comedy, poetry and film," Def Jam president Kevin Liles told AllHipHop.com. "Red and Meth truly are the 2000’s Cheech and Chong."
