Rick Ross, David Banner to Hit the Big Screen in 'Days of Wrath'

Rick Ross, David Banner and Slim Thug are set to appear in the upcoming drama 'Days of Wrath,' alongside Academy-award nominated actor Laurence Fishburne, Taye Diggs, Wilmer Valderrama (That '70s Show) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (P.S. I Love You).

The urban thriller tells the story of two Los Angeles gangs, a callous television producer and the innocent bystanders involved in this tangled tale of gang violence.

Laurence Fishburne plays a teacher/mentor who acts as the voice of reason for the young, warring gang members. Valderrama shows some range and takes on the role of the ruthless thug, who sets off the string of violence events. Ross, Banner and Slim appear as members of one of the rival gangs.

Rick Ross Creates Classics with 'Trilla'

Miami's Big "Boss" Rick Ross is back at it again. His 2006 debut release 'Port of Miami' was embraced by hip hop's finest, including his former boss, Jay-Z, and topped the charts, thanks to collaborations with Jigga and Young Jeezy on the album's hit single 'Hustlin.' But Ross isn't letting the success of his first effort keep him off his grind. The rapper returned to the studio last year and recorded his sophomore album, 'Trilla,' due in stores on March 11.

"The actual title, I drew from Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' album. You know down south we use the term Trill, that's like true and real put together," Ross tells the BoomBox.

Ross also gains inspiration from his desire to make sure Miami continues to contribute to hip-hop. "It just feels good being part of the building process putting Miami back on the map.
