Xzibit To Join The Rock In 'Gridiron Gang'

[Monday, April 18th, 2005]
Xzibit is in final talks to join Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the upcoming drama Gridiron Gang, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Xzibit will play Malcolm, assistant coach of the team in the film, which was inspired by a 1993 documentary and follows a probation officer (Johnson) who forms a football team of juvenile inmates. The players overcome huge obstacles, gain self-esteem and discipline and, in one season, go from brawling beginners to contenders for the division title.

Phil Joanou is directing. Filming is scheduled to begin at the end of May at Camp Kilpatrick, a juvenile detention facility in the Santa Monica Mountains.
