Hola Dannie aqui,
The folks at Warner Bros. Pictures released a restricted trailer for the upcoming "SHAFT" film directed by Tim Story ("Barbershop," "Ride Along 1 & 2," 2005's "Fantastic Four," and 2007's "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" and a slew of projects with comedian Kevin Hart). I hope this is Tim Story's best film, I liked "Barbershop" but did not adore it, I hated with a passion of a thousand suns his Fantastic Four films, so I am going into this with a little trepidation. However, the writers they have are solid, so let's hope for the best. The new "SHAFT" film stars Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson (“Pulp Fiction,” “Kong: Skull Island”), Jessie T. Usher (TV’s “Survivor’s Remorse,” “Almost Christmas” ), Regina Hall (“Girls Trip,” “Barbershop: The Next Cut”), Alexandra Shipp (“Straight Outta Compton,” “X-Men: Apocalypse”), Matt Lauria (TV’s “Kingdom,” “Friday Night Lights”), Titus Welliver (“Argo,” TV’s “Bosch”), Cliff “Method Man” Smith (“Keanu,” “Train Wreck”), and Richard Roundtree, the original John Shaft. I love that they are bringing Richard Roundtree in and the idea of seeing three generations of Shaft family could be very cool.
Warner Bros. Pictures describes the 2019 "SHAFT" film as-
"SHAFT New Line Cinema’s action comedy “Shaft” is the next chapter in the film franchise featuring the coolest private eye on any New York City block. Tim Story (the “Ride Along” and “Think Like a Man” franchises) directs this all-new take on a legend, starring Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson (“Pulp Fiction,” “Kong: Skull Island”), Jessie T. Usher (TV’s “Survivor’s Remorse,” “Almost Christmas”), Regina Hall (“Girls Trip,” “Barbershop: The Next Cut”), Alexandra Shipp (“Straight Outta Compton,” “X-Men: Apocalypse”), Matt Lauria (TV’s “Kingdom,” “Friday Night Lights”), Titus Welliver (“Argo,” TV’s “Bosch”), Cliff “Method Man” Smith (“Keanu,” “Train Wreck”), and Richard Roundtree, the original John Shaft. JJ, aka John Shaft Jr. (Usher), may be a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s untimely death, he needs an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout JJ’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft (Jackson) agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly. And while JJ’s own FBI analyst’s badge may clash with his dad’s trademark leather duster, there’s no denying family. Besides, Shaft’s got an agenda of his own, and a score to settle that’s professional and personal."
Here is the latest "SHAFT" trailer.
“Shaft” is written by Kenya Barris (“Girls Trip,” TV’s “Black-ish”) & Alex Barnow (TV’s “The Goldbergs”), based upon the character John Shaft from the novel by Ernest Tidyman. The music is by Christopher Lennertz (Netflix's "Lost in Space," "Supernatural," "Sausage Party," “Nobody’s Fool,” and “Pitch Perfect 3”), and Dave Jorden served as music supervisor. “Shaft” is set for release on June 14, 2019. It will be distributed in North America by Warner Bros. Pictures, and internationally by Netflix.
Well, what do all you bad motherfucker's and tough cookies out there in cyberspace think of the new "SHAFT" trailer? I am hoping for the best, Tim Story, better not fuck up "SHAFT." Pretty please.
Stay Strong, Live Good, Love Movies!
