Codeblack Films/Lionsgate has released the trailer to George Tillman Jr.’s The Inevitable Defeat Of Mister And Pete, which stars Jennifer Hudson, Skylan Brooks, Ethan Dizon, Anthony Mackie, Jordin Sparks, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jeffrey Wright, and Julito McCullum.
Opening in limited theaters on October 11, the script was written by Michael Starrbury, and by co-produced by Alicia Keys.
During a sweltering summer in New York City, 14-year-old Mister’s hard-living mother is apprehended by the police, leaving the boy and nine-year-old Pete alone to forage for food while dodging child protective services and the destructive scenarios of the Brooklyn projects. Faced with more than any child can be expected to bear, the resourceful Mister nevertheless feels he is an unstoppable force against seemingly unmovable obstacles. But what really keeps the pair in the survival game is much more Mister’s vulnerability than his larger-than-life attitude. The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete is a beautifully observed and tremendously moving film about salvation through friendship and the way transformation sometimes can happen just by holding on long enough.
