BET+ has set July 6 for the premiere date of the action thriller Call Her King, starring Naturi Naughton, Lance Gross, and Jason Mitchell.
Directed by Wes Miller, Call Her King follows Judge Jaeda King (Naughton), who has just sentenced Sean Samuels (Mitchell) to death when the courthouse is hijacked by Samuels’ brother Gabriel, also known as Black Caesar (Gross). The Judge must then rely on her wits, strength and skill to find a way to end the standoff, save the hostages and fight her way out.
The film also stars Johnny Messner, Nicholas Turturro, Tobias Truvillion, Garrett Hendricks and Shiobann Amisial.
Call Her King is the first production falling under Andrew van den Houten and Miller’s newly formed BlackLight Entertainment banner, which was formed with the mission of providing quality opportunities for people of color and other traditionally disadvantaged people in front of and behind the camera. Van Den Houten and Miller produced the film for the company.
