Michael Rapaport is getting some Tough Luck. He has been set to direct the Brooklyn-based noir thriller, an adaption of Jason Starr’s 2003 novel. Starr is writing the screenplay. Rival Pictures is producing, and shooting is scheduled to start in New York next year. Known for his roles in front of the camera in TV series like Prison Break and movies like Woody Allen’s Mighty Aphrodite, Rapaport directed Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest, which was released last year. The hip-hop documentary won the PGA’s Producer of the Year Award. Rapaport is repped by Paradigm and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

Mike’s a great guy who works really hard at his craft. Worked with him on Prison Break – total pro. Looking forward to this.
That “Tribe Called Quest” documentary was a real achievement. With so many terrible music docs coming out that are really just hagiographies to the stars involved (“From the Sky Down” was basically “Thank God U2 Didn’t Break Up and Deprive Us Of Their Awesomeness, AMIRITE: The Movie”), this was done over several years and really captured the band’s up’s and down’s and profound and changing influence on multiple generations of artists. It would’ve been an achievement for any filmmaker, but for a first-time documentarian, it was a revelation.
