<p>The 1975 film, “Cooley High,” will be the next classic film to get a remake through MGM. Set in 1960’s Chicago, the film focused on a group of high school seniors trying to survive during their final days at Edwin G. Cooley Vocational High School.</p>
<p>According to Deadline, rapper and actor Common will star in the film, as well as produce under his Freedom Road Productions.</p>
<p>Other producers on board include, DeVon Franklin, who you all may know as Megan Good’s husband. He will produce through his Franklin Entertainment; Tony Krantz will produce through Flame Ventures. His father Steve Krantz was one of the producers for the original film.</p>
<p>Seth Rosenfeld will write the film’s script.</p>
<p>“Cooley High’s” original cast included Lawrence Hilton Jacobs as Richard “Cochise” Morris and Glynn Turman as Leroy “Preach” Jackson.</p>
<p>The film was set with a $75,000 budget and went on to make over $13 million at the box office.</p>
<p>There has been no cast announced for the film, but we can only imagine how dope this film is going to be.</p>
