Green will portray "Troublegum," a very successful
hip hop star.
Recently, Green wrapped the second season of the popular
television series "The Voice."Green is represented by Larry Mestel at
Primary Wave Talent Management who negotiated the deal on his behalf.
The film is described as follows:
“Seduced by dreams of making it in the big city, Gretta
(Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend (Levine) move to New York to pursue
their passion for music. She’s heartbroken when he dumps her for the fame and
fortune of a big solo contract, leaving her all on her own. Left to sleep on
the couch of an old friend, Gretta reluctantly agrees to play an open mic night
before departing the city for home. Her world takes a turn for the better when
a down-on-his-luck record producer (Ruffalo) stumbles upon her singing and is
immediately captivated by her raw talent and inspiring authenticity - they may
be each other’s last chance to turn their lives around.
Recruiting street musicians, amateurs, and professionals
borrowed from the posse of Troublegum (Green), a hip-hop artist he discovered
years ago, Dan throws himself into producing for Gretta. Fueled by his
enthusiasm, Gretta begins to develop confidence as a performer and songwriter.
Dan hopes that his new direction will repair his marriage with his estranged
wife Miriam (Keener) and reclaim the respect of his daughter Violet
(Steinfeld). Somewhere between friendship and their love of music, the two
strangers strike a chord that captures the hearts of everyone around them,
proving that every great story has its own soundtrack.”
