Former NBA Player Baron Davis To Make Feature Directorial Debut With ‘Domino: Battle of the Bones’ Starring Snoop Dogg, David Arquette
Variety is reporting that NBA player-turned-filmmaker Baron Davis will make his feature directorial debut with ‘Domino: Battle of the Bones,’ a comedy starring Snoop Dogg and David Arquette.
The intergenerational comedy, whose domestic distribution rights were sold to TriCoast Entertainment, tells of an elderly Black man who teams with his awkward, white step-grandson to defeat his rival in a domino tournament.
Joining Snoop and Arquette is Lou Beatty Jr. (“NCIS,” “Finding Normal”), Tasie Lawrence (“The First Wives Club”), Megan Sousa and a slew of social media influencers including Anthony “Scruncho” McKinley, Tom “Tiny” Lister Jr. and Haha Davis.
Davis was an Emmy nominee for co-producing the documentary “Crips and Bloods: Made in America” in 2008. “Domino” marks his feature directorial debut.
TriCoast, an indie distributor founded by Strathford Hamilton and Marcy Levitas Hamilton, intends to roll out the film in February 2021 when the nation marks Black History Month. The film is set to premiere in L.A.’s Compton area, to support loyal domino fans.
The film’s music will be supplied by Mike & Keys, noted producers on projects like the late Nipsey Hussle’s “Victory Lap” as well as credits with 50 Cent, Ludacris and Snoop.
