Terrence Howard Is Now A Small Screen Producer

Terrence Howard is making moves behind the camera as word comes down that he’s developing a new TV series for the small screen. The actor’s production company, A Huge Quality Film, is joining forces with Radical Media to develop the drama, which will called Pigs and Panthers.

Variety reports the series will be based on the life of Ronald Farwell, an undercover LAPD detective who infiltrated the Black Panthers. Set in 1960s and early 1970s Los Angeles, Pigs and Panthers will draw from the story of Farwell and his wife, an L.A. Sheriff's deputy, as he soon finds himself on the wrong side of the Black Panther Party, the FBI and the LAPD itself.

Terrence Howard Reacts To News Of Being Replaced

Terrence Howard has spoken out publicly for the first time since learning his part in “Iron Man 2” had been recast. Last week, Marvel Studios announced through The Hollywood Reporter, that the Hustle and Flow actor would be replaced with fellow actor Don Cheadle.

In a new interview with National Public Radio, Howard admitted he was shocked when he heard the studio had replaced him with Don Cheadle in the sequel to “Iron Man.”

“It was the surprise of a lifetime,” Howard told NPR.

Cheadle will step into the role of Jim Rhodes in the follow up to the summer blockbuster, starring Robert Downey Jr. The decision to go another way with the character, who later becomes fellow armored superhero War Machine, was reportedly based on financial differences between Howard and the studio. But according to Terrence, that news is definitely new news to him.

“I read something in the trades implicating that it was about money or something, but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren’t worth the paper that they’re printed on, sometimes,” Howard continued in his interview with NPR. “Promises aren’t kept, and good faith negotiations aren’t always held up… The contract just… up and vanished.” Howard stated.

Terrence Howard Marshal's In Howard Homecoming

As planned, Academy Award-nominated actor Terrence Howard came out to the Howard University Homecoming and donned the appearance of the University band's drum major.

During the festivities, Howard served as the homecoming ambassador and grand marshal at the school’s homecoming football game in Washington, D.C., today (Oct 19).

“I am very excited about participating in Howard University’s legendary Homecoming,” said Terrence. “I am looking forward to celebrating with the students and the distinguished alumni of this great American treasure.”

Sitting in the audience watching Terrence lead the marching band was Sean “Diddy” Combs, is an Howard Alumni, and also watched on with his arm still in a sling. According to Diddy, he just had shoulder surgery from working out too hard. Terrence, now 39, never finished college himself but was admitted to the Pratt Institute in New York. He didn’t complete his education as he had joined his brother on an audition for The Cosby Show and was cast in the role.

Don Cheadle Replaces Terrence Howard In Iron Man Sequel

According to TheHollywoodReporter, Don Cheadle has been picked to replace Terrence Howard in the sequel "Iron Man 2".

Cheadle will take Howards place as Jim Rhodes, Iron Man's best friend, who also had dreams of stepping into the superhero role as War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying "Next time," a line that many fans would deem as exciting, just for the simple fact that you knew that there would be a follow up to the summer hit.

Sources close to the deal said negotiations with Howard fell through over financial differences, among other reasons. Marvel, which had wanted to work with Cheadle, then decided to take the role in another direction and approached the actor, who is shooting Antoine Fuqua's "Brooklyn's Finest" with Richard Gere and Ethan Hawke. Rhodes is expected to play a larger part in the sequel, which is rumored to go beyond high-tech villains.

Robert Downey Jr. is expected to comeback as billionaire industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow also is expected to be back as Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts. Cheadle, repped by UTA, most recently starred in "Traitor," a thriller on which he was also a producer. He will next be seen in DreamWorks' "Hotel for Dogs."

Terrence Howard... A Stalker?

Terrence Howard talked to The New York Times about his song "No. 1 Fan" off of his new album. He tells the paper what exactly where his mind was at when he wrote this song.

"I wrote that song as a stalker. It was raining, and I was sitting there in front of the house, watching her come home from a date after we were divorced. I was imagining what she did on this date, and watching her giving him a kiss. I went home and wrote this song."

Uhhhhh, can you say Creepy McCreeperton!!! Geeeeeeeerosss!
