First Full Trailer for Notorious

When the teaser trailer for Fox Searchlight’s biopic Notorious came out a while back it looked kind of intriguing. It’s a good story: a young inner-city kid seemingly escapes a dangerous lifestyle by becoming one of the most successful rappers in history, only to be struck down by the type of violence he tried to escape. The music is classic, with cuts from Biggie’s canon filling the soundtrack. And who doesn’t want to see a larger-than-life character on the big screen?

The first full trailer for Notorious is out now, and while my excitement is somewhat tempered, I’m holding out hope. Unlike my friends over at Analogue, I think it might be pretty entertaining. Check out the trailer below, and let me know what you think.
