Superfly, a film from the 70s is back and being reimagined! Director X (Yes, that’s his name) is taking the cult film and modernizing it with a pretty huge cast and the help of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Check out the trailer below.

It was also made with an estimated budget of 58,000. This new version seems to be a hundred times the original films budget.
The Director X version which hopes to “redefine the hustle” will star Trevor Jackson as Youngblood Priest with a supporting cast of Jennifer Morrison (Once Upon A Time), Jason Mitchell (Straight Outta Compton), Michael Kenneth Williams (Boardwalk Empire), Lex Scott Davis (The First Purge), Andrea Londo (Narcos), Terayle Hill (Cobra Kai), Allen Maldonado (The Last O.G.), and Omar Chaparro (Overboard).
Superfly hits theaters June 13.
Superfly – the film that helped define a genre in its characters, look, sound, and feel – is reimagined with Director X, director of legendary music videos (Drake, Rihanna), introducing it to a new generation. The screenplay is by Alex Tse.
