Don Cheadle and Antoine Fuqua on ‘Brooklyn’s Finest’
Today, the latest film by “Training Day” director Antoine Fuqua hits theatres nationwide. It’s called “Brooklyn’s Finest,” and it follows three cops who are forced to make impossible decisions during crisis points in their lives ? and then live with the outcome of those choices.
Don Cheadle plays one of those cops, a plain-clothes police officer who wants desperately to get off the streets and behind a desk. He shares his insights about the joys and challenges of playing duplicitous characters ? in “Brooklyn’s Finest” and other recent films. We also talk with Antoine Fuqua ? about the logistics of making his film with real gang members and police force cooperation, not to mention indie funding and distribution.
