Michael Jai White Directs, Stars In Action Comedy ‘Trouble Man!’ With Method Man, Mike Epps, La La Anthony & More
Deadline reports that production has wrapped production on Trouble Man!, an action comedy that Michael Jai White directed and stars in for Samuel Goldwyn Films. Those starring alongside him are Method Man, Gillian White, Mike Epps, Orlando Jones and La La Anthony.
Filmed under the Georgia Production Program, the film stars White as Jaxen, a former cop turned private detective living in Atlanta. When famed R&B singer Jahari goes missing, Jaxen is hired to find and save her. As he investigates, he realizes her disappearance is tied to a much larger conspiracy of lies and deceit, which makes him question everyone around him and confront his own past.
White and Michael Stradford penned the script, with Craig Baumgarten producing. Samuel Goldwyn Films financed the pic and will release it next year, following past collaborations with White on the actioner As Good as Dead and Western Outlaw Johnny Black.
Said White in a statement on the project, “I am profoundly blessed and proud to serve my fanbase and help to resurrect light to the Urban Action Comedy genre!”
