Exclusive: Aubrey Joseph, Vivica A Fox and director Nicholas Manuel Pino talk Peacock film Bosco

Hitting Peacock on Feb. 2 is the Original film BOSCO, written and directed by Nicholas Manuel Pino and starring Vivica A. FoxAubrey Joseph, Theo Rossi, Thomas Jane, DC Young Fly, Brandon Rogers, Tory Lanez, John Lewis, Nikki Blonsky, and Tyrese Gibson.

The pic tells the story of Quawntay “Bosco” Adams (Joseph). Sentenced to 35 years for attempted possession of marijuana, Adams miraculously escaped from a Federal maximum-security prison while under 24-hour surveillance in solitary confinement with the help of an older woman (Blonsky) he met through a lonely-hearts ad.

The film was produced by Quawntay Adams himself, Justin Steele and Patrick McErlean of Fluke Studios, and Darryll C. Scott of Evergreen Valley Productions, a subsidiary of David Ayer and Chris Long’s Cedar Park Entertainment.

“Bosco is an incredible human, not only because of his escape, but because of his passion and drive to better himself and the world around him. I hope we can carve out a unique, interesting space in the prison genre that reflects his distinctive journey,” said Pino.

Blackfilmandtv.com’s Wilson Morales spoke with Aubrey Joseph, Vivica A. Fox and director Nicholas Manuel Pino on the making of Bosco.
