LL Cool J is about to symbolize vengeance for a whole new generation. He has signed on to play Dolemite in a remake of the 1975 classic.

Dolemite featured Rudy Ray Moore as the wrongly imprisoned man out for vengeance and he'll serve as a consultant for this film, as well as make a cameo appearance. The story will be updated to reflect the times, but the key elements will stay the same, including an elite force of female kung fu artists ready and willing to do Dolemite's bidding.
