The Blaxploitation classic “Superfly” has begun production in Atlanta and is looking for some key parts on the big screen. Producers this week need child actors for filming on Wednesday, January 31, 2018.
The movie is based on the 1972 crime drama directed by celebrity photographer and filmmaker Gordon Parks and featured Ron O’Neal in the title role.
Sony has bumped up the film’s release date to June 2018, significantly picking up the pace on production. That means things are happening quickly. Atlanta rapper Future has reportedly sign on to co-produce.
The movie tells the story of Youngblood Priest (O’Neal), an cocaine pusher who is struggling with the duality of trying to get out of the drug business while supporting his lavish lifestyle by earning clean money.
The new film will be set in the modern world with several famous faces in key roles. , Director X will helm the director’s chair for the remake with Trevor Jackson confirmed to star as Youngblood Priest, according to Deadline.
“Straight Outta Compton” star Jason Mitchell will play the buddy role as Eddie, “along with Lex Scott Davis as Georgia, Andrea Londo as Cynthia, Jacob Ming-Trent (Showtime’s White Famous) as Fat Freddy, and Omar Chapparo as Adalberto,” Deadline reports.
