Superfly!

Canadian director Little X has a movie coming out next week. Born Julien Christian Lutz, X is a well respected music video director.

X, Paul Hunter and Hype Williams dominated music videos during the 1990s and 2000s.

It's a remake of the 1972 blaxploitation crime drama Superfly. It stars Trevor Jackson, Jason Mitchell, Michael Kenneth Williams, Lex Scott Davis and Jennifer Morrison.

The movie was inspired by Gordon Rogers Parks, Jr. He brought you Superfly, Three the Hard Way, Thomasine & Bushrod and Aaron Loves Angela. Each of these movies brought about strong Black characters, a white oppressor and a lot of drug usage.

Expect this movie to possibly follow the formula.

Little X wirh Trevor Jackson, Lex Scott Davis and Jason Mitchell.

It features cameos and appearances from Rick Ross and Big Boi.

The original movie featured Ron O'Neal who played the character, Youngblood Priest.

Filming started in January and it will be released by Columbia Pictures and Silver Pictures.

Some of his notable credits include music videos from Drake, Jamie Foxx, Flo Rida, Jay-Z, The Game, Redman, Mystikal, DMX, Jadakiss, R. Kelly, 50 Cent, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and others.
