Hey guys! Horrorella here...
After a nostalgia-filled teaser gave us an idea of the vibe of Rick Famuyiwa's DOPE, the full trailer has now arrived. And though it still carries the cultural currency of the time period it embraces, it also offers more of a formal introduction to the characters and plot of the film.
DOPE tells the story of a group of self-professed 90's geeks who get in over their heads on a drug deal and have to attempt to maneuver their way out of danger and back into everyone's good graces.
The hit movie out of the Sundance Film Festival, DOPE tells the story of Malcolm (Shameik Moore) who is carefully surviving life in a tough neighborhood in Los Angeles. A chance invitation to an underground party leads him into an adventure that could allow him to go from being a geek, to being dope, to ultimately being himself. Directed by Rick Famuyiwa, Produced by Forest Whitaker, Executive Produced by Pharrell Williams and Co-Executive Produced by Sean Combs.
The film looks like a ton of fun, and something to definitely be on the lookout for this summer. DOPE hits theaters June 19th.
