Lil' Romeo To Join Dark Angel In 'Honey'

[Wednesday, June 26th, 2002]
Lil' Romeo will star opposite Jessica Alba in Universal Pictures' "Honey," reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Music video director Bille Woodruff is making his feature directorial debut on the film, and studio-based Marc Platt is producing with music mogul Andre Harrel.

"Honey," written by Alonzo Brown and Kim Watson, is a music-driven coming-of-age drama about a sexy, tough inner-city woman named Honey (Alba) who hopes to start a neighborhood dance studio and subsequently is discovered by a music mogul. After she finds success as a hot new video choreographer, her dream is threatened when her mentor blackballs her for not sleeping with him. Lil' Romeo will play Benny, a young street kid from a broken family who happens to be a gifted dancer. Although the temptation to sell drugs is all around him, Honey persuades him to focus on his dancing talents.

Production begins Sept. 9 in Toronto.
