A few notable names such as Micheal Ealy, Luenell Campbell, and fellow cast member Flex Washington joined everyone in a discussion prior to the screening of the film. During the discussion Flex shared “many people don’t know the role of Q came down between Omar and I. Omar ultimately got the role but that pushed me to go harder in my career.” Flex ended up landing a role in the film as an inspiring DJ still.
In the green room prior to the screening Ernest Dickerson, Khalil
Kain, and Jermaine Hopkins sat down with Eurweb and shared memories from
working with the cast and legendary Tupac Shakur.
The cast mentioned a key aspect that isn’t found in films these days is the character development and authenticity of life that Juice was able to capture. The idea of 4 friends from the inner city neighborhood hanging out and jumping from roof to roof was and still is relatable to many young urban viewers. Jermaine Hopkins spoke about the undeniable chemistry that the four actors shared while on set. Dickerson can be credited for the groups’ tight bond due to bringing the young brothers out to eat for dinners during the casting process in order create a bond between the actors.

When asked about working with Tupac Dickerson mentioned “A lot of times
in between set ups, sometimes he (Pac) would go off in a corner with a notebook
and write. I’d like to think he was writing music that he would be coming out
with later.”
As the interview began to wrap the cast was asked “what are
your thoughts on a possible 2nd installment of Juice? We’ve seen
many production companies do this with other classic movies. The cast had a mutual
agreement that a 2nd Juice isn’t needed and the original shall live
forever. Make sure to go purchase the classic film “Juice” now available on
Blue-ray and DVD.
