New Jack City is a 1991 crime-thriller/neo-noir film starring Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles, Judd Nelson and Chris Rock. Snipes stars as Nino Brown, a rising drug dealer and crime lord in New York City during the crack epidemic. Ice-T plays a detective who vows to stop Nino’s criminal activity by going undercover to work for Nino’s gang.
The story revolved around the 20th anniversary of the 1967 riots in Detroit, and in its wake, the rise of crack cocaine gangs in the mid-to-late 1980s, like Young Boys Inc., and the Chambers Brothers. Cooper is working on a novella titled, “The Diary Of Nino Brown: The Untold Story of a Street Legend”, which is both a prequel and a sequel of sorts, to the film New Jack City, and has posted an excerpt from the novella on his blog, Hooked On The American Dream. Some of the most memorable lines in the film were ad-libbed by the actors – especially Ice-T and Wesley Snipes – encouraged by director Van Peebles to improvise in a free-flowing naturalistic style.
