No word yet on what the film will be rated, but it has just recently been acquired by Patriot Releasing, a full service theatrical Distribution company. The movie hopes to appeal to the “50 Shades of Grey” set, but with an African-American twist.
The movie was written and directed by Jean Claude Lamarre (Chocolate City), and stars Dawn Richard (Danity Kane), Robert Ri’Chard (Coach Carter), Eurika Pratts (Black Magic) and Gary Dourdan (CSI).
Look for “Kinky” in theaters on October 12, 2018.

The Atlanta Dream almost made an epic comeback against the Seattle Storm on Friday, July 6 in McCamish Pavilion, but it was not to be. The final score, 95 to 86, doesn’t really show how close the game was.
The Dream were paced by Angel McCoughtry, who scored 26 points, and Tiffany Hayes, who pumped in 23.
Atlanta looked like they were going to run away with the game in the early going, jumping out to a 9-2 lead. But the Storm scored 14 of the next 15 points and led the rest of the way.
Seattle, led by Breanna Stewart’s 29 points, dominated the first half and at one point led by 19 points, before the Dream staged a furious rally.

Every time Atlanta mounted consecutive buckets, Stewart, or Sue Bird (18 points) would counter. The Storm were nine of 20 from 3-point range.
Atlanta (8-9) hosts the Phoenix Mercury at home on Sunday, July 8.
