Member AlbertV Posted January 24, 2018 Member Share Posted January 24, 2018 Being released on June 15, 2018 is a modern day reboot of the 70's Blaxploitation classic Superfly. The late Ron O'Neal played Youndblood Priest in the original film, a drug dealer looking to make one more big score before ultimately exiting the drug world only to find himself betrayed and dealing with corrupt law enforcement. Watchmen (the film) co-writer Alex Tse is writing the script for the remake and the director known simply as X is helming the remake. Trevor Jackson will play Priest in the remake with Jason Mitchell playing Priest's best friend Eddie, Lex Scott Davis as Georgia, Andrea Londo as Cynthia, Jacob Ming-Trent as Fat Freddy, and Omar Chapparo as Adalberto. Joel Silver and Future (the rapper) are producing the remake with Steven R. Shore serving as one of the executive producers. Shore's father was the producer of the original classic. Production has already begun in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised they allowed one of the actors to say that he hopes it creates a new generation of pimps. Given the current climate in Hollywood at the moment. Unless he's using the word pimp in a different context, to how I think about it?. Looks like theyve taken the gritty original and given it a nice clean HD clinical look.
