Coinciding with its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, the first trailer has been released for Spike Lee’s upcoming crime drama BlacKkKlansman which stars Adam Driver, John David Washington, Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace; watch it here…
From visionary director Spike Lee comes the provocative story based on Ron Stallworth’s real life as Colorado Springs’s first African-American police officer who went undercover to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. Unbelievably, Detective Stallworth (John David Washington) and his partner Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) penetrate the KKK at its highest levels to thwart its attempt to take over the city. Produced by the team behind the Academy-Award winning Get Out, Spike Lee uses his trademark take-no-prisoner style and humor to tell this story often missing from the history books.
BlacKkKlansman is set for release on August 10th in the US and on August 24th in the UK.
