The team behind the movie, Judas and the Black Messiah is currently making an original movie about an American political insurrection.
Judas And Black Messiah Teaming Up
The 2021 Messiah picture was a biographical drama about the betrayal of Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, in late-1960s Chicago. The film was met with rapturous critical praise for its explosive portrayal of real-life events and its use of political statements.
The film was created by an all-star team, including director-producer and co-writer Shaka King, producer Charles D. King, and star Lil Rel Howery. It was also produced by Black Panther filmmaker Ryan Coogler, who is currently helming the sequel, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
Other Details To Know
According to reports, the team is trying to collaborate on an original movie centering around an American Political Insurrection. The movie is still untitled, and not much is known about the details of the plot. It is also not known if the film will be inspired by the United States Capitol insurrection of January 6, when a violent mob of Trump supporters attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. However, the picture is known to be set in modern times and may span different genres.
The news of this American insurrection movie will be highly anticipated by fans of Judas and the Black Messiah, which was also praised for its political themes. The project is likely to polarize opinion on its release, with many American and global citizens divided on the recent Capitol Hill insurrection. However, cinema lovers will point to cinema’s long history of encouraging important conversations.
