STICKY FINGAZ OF ONYX MAKES HIS DIRECTORIAL DEBUT WITH MAJOR INDEPENDENTS/LION GATE FILM, A DAY IN THE LIFE STARRING MEKHI PFIFER, OMAR EPPS, MICHAEL RAPAPORT, BOKEEM WOODBINE, FREDRO STARR, FAIZON LOVE, AND MORE.

After starring in several movies and landing his own television series, Blade: the Series, Onyx rapper-turned-actor and now director, Kirk “Sticky Fingaz” Jones has made his first big picture foray as a director of the hottest hip-hop action drama to hit theaters, A Day In The Life. The Onyx MC has written, produced, and directed the movie which consists entirely of rap dialogue.

Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr will play major roles in the film which also casts a who’s who of Hollywood including: Mekhi Pfifer, Omar Epps, Bokeem Woodbine, Michael Rapaport, Faizon Love, Malinda Williams, Treach, Tyrin Turner, Drena De Niro (Robert De Niro’s daughter), Clarence Williams III, Ray J, Sticky Fingaz, Fredro Starr and more.

While it might be considered a “movie musical or a hip-hop opera,” Sticky Fingaz describes it as “Godfather Meets Romeo & Juliet.” When asked why he decided against straight dialogue, he explains, “I’m an artist and I create music and at the same time, I’m an actor so it made sense to try something innovative and merge the two together. We’ll be doing the same with Onyx’s Black Rock album, merging hip-hop and rock. It’s a way of tapping into both sides of myself.”

A Day In A Life will be released through Sticky’s production company, Major Independents in association with Lion Gates Films and coming to a big screen near you in early ’09.
