The Wackness (low budget)

Do you remember Josh Peck from the Nickelodeon series Drake and Josh?  Check him out after his weight loss back in 2007. He also stars in the low budget film called The Wackness in 2008. 

The film takes place shortly after Kurt Cobain's death. Summer of 1994, and the streets of New York were pulsing with hip-hop, drugs and sex. Set against this backdrop, a lonely and troubled teenager named Luke Shapiro spends his last summer before university selling marijuana throughout New York City, trading it with his unorthodox psychotherapist for treatment, while having a crush on his stepdaughter. The film also features a lot of hip hop tracks from the same era.

Was Aaliyah supposed to play Honey?

Yes, that's a fact. Aaliyah was the original cast as Honey Daniels though the role was later recast to Jessica Alba due to Aaliyah's death.
Honey was released in 2003, two years after Aaliyah's death. The film critics rated the film a 4 out of 10 followed by comments like "An attractive Jessica Alba and energetic dance numbers provide some lift to this corny and formulaic movie"
Although the film was set to give an affirmative side of the hip-hop aesthetic without being overly preachy, the critics weren't happy with the outcome. Which got me thinking, if Aaliyah had played Honey Daniels, would things have been different? Would the critics have given the film different ratings?! We'll never know.



I found these old photoshoot of Aaliyah and her bff Kidada Jones (Tupac's fiance and also the eldest daughter of the legendary Quincy Jones) They looked absolute beautiful, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do :)
