Trailer for Fred Hampton film "Judas and the Black Messiah"

[Rollie Forbes]

they couldn’t give this role to Michael B, Chadwick, Cory Hawk or Lakeith S

After his role in BlackkKlansman, I want to see Corey Hawkins star in a Kwame Toure movie.

 

[JLova]

Cats want 42 year old Chadwick Boseman to play a cat half his age?

At least Daniel is 31. Lakeith would make more sense...but maybe he auditioned for the role and didn't have it. Would be interesting to see why they casted the people they did.

 

[Mikhail Bakunin]

Sounds cool.

Finally watched the trailer
accent didnt really bother me

I'm tellin yall this movie will be bullshyt just like the Harriet movie
"judas AND the black messiah"?
so william oneil AND Fred Hampton why the traitor name come first?
and they made sure to get that rainbow coalition bullshyt in there
yea i know he kinda talked about that in real life but he was wrong

From the title this might be "what about black on black crime" film. In the Black panther film he made the CIA look like the good guys

Like some twitter user said "Murdering a Black radical once is never enough"

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Terrible accent aside, I liked that trailer...

 

[Rollie Forbes]

I hope not

Ryan Coogler is solid, and he's not on that Kasi Lemmons "evil Black man" bs. I think he'll do a good job with this movie.

true...good point!

 

[Roid Jones]

Kaluuya is building a great body of work

 

[Roid Jones]

Also dude looks nothing at all like Fred Hampton. Better off using dude from lovecraft country or Michael B Jordan.

 

[the bossman]

He still shoulda got a dialect coach cause it’s distracting as hell.

All those British actors get American coaches who work with them on their accents

 

[the bossman]

If the man's son co-signs Daniel getting the role who tf is y'all to bytch about it?

The fact that the director stressed the importance of having Fred's actual son on set everyday to ensure Kaluuya and the whole project stayed true to his dad's essence speaks volumes.

And trailer looked dope

These fake militant nikkas whine over anything these days

 

[loyola llothta]

Is this the same guy

 

[TallMan_J]

This movie is more about this informant than Fred Hampton

This.

 

[TallMan_J]

Once again, if Fred Hampton's son and his family co-signs this movie and it's casting who tf are y'all to bytch about it?

You're Asian. We don't care what you think. If it was a Jackie Chan movie, then we'd ask for your input.
