Dramatic Story of Lorenzo "Phat Kat" Nichols Heading To Theaters

The story of legendary Queens, New York drug kingpin Lorenzo “Fat Kat" Nichols is being shopped, raising funds and securing distribution via Sophie Lily Weinstein's film company, Synergy Media Productions. Weinstein, who is the CEO and founder of Synergy Media Productions, has acquired the script from screenwriter Curtis Scoon, an associate of Nichols', who also served as co-producer of an “American Gangster” episode about the infamous Queens drug dealer. “Cat's impact has had a long reaching ripple effect,” Sophie Lily Weinstein told AllHipHop.com. “There isn't a person in this country who wasn't impacted by the crack era and the laws put in place, either directly or indirectly through its influence in pop culture/Hip-Hop. The script will focus on Nichols' early childhood in Queens, his association with Hip-Hop culture and his reign as a drug dealer, which helped usher in the infamous Rockefeller Drug Laws. Nichols was eventually sentenced to a total of 40 years in prison for murders, racketeering, and drug-related charges. “It is my hope this project does for the black gangster what 'Goodfellas' did for the mob,” screenwriter Curtis Scoon told AllHipHop.com. “Strip away the glamorous veneer, to reveal the raw brutality of the urban underworld."
