Trailer to Surrounded starring Letitia Wright
MGM has released the trailer and some images to the western film, Surrounded, directed by Anthony Mandler and starring Letitia Wright, Jamie Bell, Jeffrey Donovan, with Brett Gelman and Michael K. Williams. Written by Andrew Pagana and Justin Thomas, the film will be available everywhere digital on June 20th.
Five years after the Civil War, freedwoman and former Buffalo Soldier Moses “Mo” Washington travels west to lay claim on a gold mine- the summation of years of toil for Mo and her community. It is a mean, dangerous world for an unaccompanied Black woman in 1870 America and so Mo travels into the deep frontier disguised as a man. After her stagecoach is ambushed by a group of murderous thieves, Mo is forced to hold legendary outlaw Tommy Walsh (played by Jamie Bell) captive while the remaining surviving passengers seek out help. What ensues is a battle of wills, blurring the line between captor and captive, as they both try to survive the harsh western landscape.
The pic was produced by Bron’s Aaron L. Gilbert, Mandler and Derek Iger for Blackhand, Mandalay’s Jason Michael Berman, and Wright and Ade O’Adesina of 3.16. Jason Cloth, William Green and Aaron Ginsberg are the executive producers. Brent Morris is the line producer/UPM.
