RLJE Films has shared a trailer and poster for actor Mo McRae’s (The Flight Attendant, Sons of Anarchy) feature directorial debut A Lot of Nothing.
Executive produced by David Oyelowo, the satirical thriller stars Y’Ian Noel and Cleopatra Coleman as James and Vanessa, a seemingly perfect couple who find their lives spiralling out of control when they see their neighbour commit a crime on the evening news and decide to seek justice.
James (Y’Ian Noel) and Vanessa (Cleopatra Coleman) seem to be the perfect couple – happily married, successful, and comfortable. One night, their lives are rocked to the core when, after watching a tragedy play out on the evening news, they realize their neighbor (Justin Hartley) was involved. In a state of shock, and with opposing viewpoints on how to address the issue, they embark on a highly combustible journey to ‘do something’ about it.
Wildly entertaining, humorous, and often absurd, A LOT OF NOTHING acts as a funhouse mirror to reflect the best and worst of humanity – and how our experiences of race, class, family, fear, love, and happiness drive our choices today.
The film stars Y’Ian Noel (Insecure), Cleopatra Coleman (The Last Man on Earth), Lex Scott Davis (Rebel) Shamier Anderson (Invasion), and Justin Hartley (This Is Us).
A Lot of Nothing arrives in cinemas and on VOD on February 3rd.
