“#Jussie Smollett to make directorial debut amid hoax charges<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Embattled \u201cEmpire\u201d actor Jussie Smollett will make his directorial debut this week in the Big App<\/a>le with \u201cB-Boy Blues,\u201d an adaptation of James Earl Hardy\u2019s best-selling book from 1994.<\/p>\n

Smollett \u2014 who is charged with staging a hate-crime attack against himself in January 2019 \u2014 will also produce the feature through his just-launched SuperMassive Movies<\/a>, Deadline reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The movie chronicles the troubled relationship between two black men \u2014 Mitchell Crawford, a 27-year-old journalist, and Raheim Rivers, a 21-year-old bike messenger, or B-boy, who meet at a Greenwich Village bar in 1993.<\/p>\n

\u201cB-Boy Blues\u201d will go into production in New York City on Oct. 17.<\/p>\n

It and SuperMassive Movies \u2014 which focuses on funding independent works from LGBTQ+, women and filmmakers of color \u2014 are financed by Cleveland-based Radio Broadcast investor, Tom Wilson, Deadline said.<\/p>\n

Smollett, 38, has won five National Association for the Advancement of Colored People awards, including for Best Supporting Actor on \u201cEmpire.\u201d He has directed two episodes of the hit Fox drama.<\/p>\n

In February, Smollett was indicted for a second time on charges of lying to police about being the victim of a racist, anti-gay attack near his downtown Chicago apartment.<\/p>\n

The charges came from a special prosecutor who was appointed after Cook County prosecutors dropped the same charges in March 2019.<\/p>\n

Smollett was accused of directing the hoax attack \u2014 and paying two pals $3,500 to help him \u2014 in an effort to boost his profile because he was unhappy with his salary on \u201cEmpire.\u201d<\/p>\n

He has denied the charges. In September, he insisted he\u2019s innocent and that the case against him is \u201cbulls\u2013t.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
