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 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.
