Open Road has released the first clip to Rick Famuyiwa’s Dope, which premiered at Sundance and will be released in theaters on June 19.
Produced by Significant Productions’ Forest Whitaker and Nina Yang Bongiovi (“Fruitvale Station”), the film is a coming of age comedy/drama for the post hip hop generation. Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is a geek, carefully surviving life in The Bottoms, a tough neighborhood in Inglewood, CA filled gangsters and drugs dealers, while juggling his senior year of college applications, interviews and the SAT. His dream is to attend Harvard. A chance invitation to a big underground party leads Malcolm and his friends into a, only in Los Angeles, gritty adventure filed with offbeat characters and bad choices. If Malcolm can persevere, he’ll go from being a geek, to being dope, to ultimately being himself.
