With a little over a week to go until Shaft arrives in cinemas, Warner Bros. has released a new red band trailer for Tim Story’s action crime comedy which stars three generations of Shaft in Richard Roundtree’s John Shaft, Samuel L. Jackson’s John Shaft II and Jessie T. Usher’s John ‘JJ’ Shaft Jr.; check it out here…
JJ, aka John Shaft Jr. (Usher), may be a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s untimely death, he needs an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout JJ’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft (Jackson) agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly. And while JJ’s own FBI analyst’s badge may clash with his dad’s trademark leather duster, there’s no denying family. Besides, Shaft’s got an agenda of his own, and a score to settle that’s professional and personal.
Shaft is set for release on June 14th and features a cast that also includes Regina Hall (Girls Trip), Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse), Avan Jogia (Now Apocalypse), Method Man (The Deuce), Matt Lauria (Kingdom) and Luna Lauren Vélez (Dexter).
