News: Carlito's Way Prequel

DVD Confidential has the inside scoop on the highly anticipated prequel to Carlito's Way. It's called Carlito's Way: Rise To Power and it stars Jay Hernandez, Mario Van Peebles, Sean Combs and one of our favorites, Luis Guzman.

Carlito’s Way: The Rise To Power comes from the same producer as Scarface and the original Carlito’s Way. This is a gripping tale of the early years of gangster legend Carlito Brigante. Seduced by the power of the brutal New York underworld, he enters a deadly circle of greed and retribution. Carlito, with his two brothers in crime, is on the fast track to becoming Spanish Harlem’s ultimate kingpin, but quickly learns that the only way to survive at the top is through loyalty to his friends and respect for the rules of the street.

Universal has just launched a cool new re-design of the official Carlitos Way - Rise To Power website. The site has cast images and will soon feature the trailer and other information.
