Brian Tyree Henry | The Movie My Life

White Boy Rick (2018), Matthew McConaughey

White Boy Rick is based on the true story of Richard Wershe Jr., a teenager who became an undercover informant for the FBI in the 80s and was arrested for drug-trafficking and sentenced to life in prison.

Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Brian Tyree Henry, Richie Merritt and Bel Powley star, while Yann Demange directs.

I feel as though there’s so much of this story that I’ve seen before – but hopefully there’s enough difference to keep it interesting.

I’d probably be less enthused if it weren’t for McConaughey. He looks to be in great form based on this trailer.

Additional cast includes Eddie Marsan, Richie Merritt, Bruce Dern and RJ Cyler.

White Boy Rick Release Dates: September 14th, 2018 (US)… December 7th, 2018 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving,

In Crown Heights, Colin Warner is a young man wrongfully convicted of murder, and his best friend Carl King devotes his life to proving Warner’s innocence.

Written and directed by Matt Ruskin; Lakeith Stanfield, Nestor Carbonell, Brian Tyree Henry and Zach Grenier star.

This one I’ll watch for three reasons. Firstly I’m desperate for this story to end well – because so often in these circumstances it does not.

Second, what a dream to have a friend like Carl King. He’s surely the best kind of friend anyone could have. Third, following Get Out (2017), I’d just love to see a character played by Stanfield who actually escapes his captors. That would make me happy indeed.

Bill Camp, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Yul Vazquez, Hunter Emery Josh Pais and Natalie Paul also star.

Crown Heights Release Dates: August 25th, 2017 (US)…
