Rapper Nelly Struck by “Thunder”

By: Rizoh

     St. Louis-bred rap-singer Nelly is set to stage a comeback—just not in music. Nelly, who seems to be taking a vacation from rap, will appear in a movie titled “RollingThunder.”

      Nelly played the running back to Adam Sandler’s quarterback in the remake of “The Longest Yard.” He’s going athletic again in “Rolling Thunder.”

      “I can’t really talk about it, but we’re working on a project with one of my all-time favorite pastimes going on,” said Nelly to MTV News. “Everybody does it: It’s a bowling flick.”

      The film is said to be a comedy which follows in the footsteps of bowling movies like “Kingpin” and “The Big Lebowski.” No words yet on the production lineup and schedule.
