Last night at Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Focus Features held the New York Premiere for Academy Award winning director Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, starring John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace.
Focus Features will open the film in theaters later this summer on August 10, 2018.
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.
Also featured in the film are Jasper Pääkkönen, Corey Hawkins, Ryan Eggold, Ashlie Atkinson, Damaris Lewis and Paul Walter Hauser.
Hawkins plays civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael (aka Kwame Ture), while Grace is one of Stallworth’s white supremacist nemeses in the film.
Produced by Jordan Peele and 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 wass being produced by Sean McKittrick and Raymond Mansfield for QC Entertainment, Jason Blum for Blumhouse, Jordan Peele for Monkeypaw, Spike Lee, and Shaun Redick. QC’s Edward H. Hamm Jr. serves as Executive Producer.
