Paramount Pictures has released the trailer to Jean-Claude LaMarre‘s male stripper film, ‘Chocolate City,’ which will hit theaters and On Demand on May 22.
The film stars Robert Ri’chard, Michael Jai White, Tyson Beckford, Vivica A. Fox, DeRay Davis, Eurika Pratts, Imani Hakim, Carmen Electra, Darrin DeWitt Henson, and Ginuwine.
The story follows a young man’s immersion in the world of the exotic male dancer. His star quickly rises and he becomes the main attraction of the club – Chocolate City. The film is being seen as the urban version of “Magic Mike.”
Robert Ri’chard, who replaced Romeo Miller, will play Devin, a young college student who’s lured into the world of male exotic dancing to pay the bills. White will play owner of a male strip club who convinces Devin to give amateur night a whirl, while Beckford plays Adrian, the club’s former star attraction who finds his popularity fading as the new kid starts to steal the spotlight. Hakim is Carmen, Devin’s girlfriend who has issues with his new career.
Fox plays Devin’s mom, struggling with the bills at home, while Davis plays his older brother and set the comedic tone for the movie. Carmen Electra plays the resident DJ at the club. Genuine plays one of the featured dancers at the club who gives the manager an ultumatum -” pay me more or I’ll dance at another club.” Dewitt Henson plays another dancer who is reshuffled in the roster, to make room for a new young star, played by Ri’chard.
La Marre produced the film through his Nulite production company along with actor Gabriel Casseus
