Dope is a coming of age comedy/drama for the post hip hop generation, and now there’s a second Official Red Band trailer.
Malcolm is a geek, carefully surviving life in The Bottoms, a tough neighborhood in Inglewood, CA filled gangsters and drugs dealers, while juggling his senior year of college applications, interviews and the SAT. His dream is to attend Harvard. A chance invitation to a big underground party leads Malcolm and his friends into a, only in Los Angeles, gritty adventure filed with offbeat characters and bad choices. If Malcolm can persevere, he’ll go from being a geek, to being dope, to ultimately being himself.
The film stars Zoë Kravitz (Divergent, Mad Max: Fury Road), Kiersey Clemons, Keith Stanfield and the voice of Forest Whitaker as the narrator.
Dope is released in the US on June 19th, and is out here in the UK on September 4th and looks better with every trailer.
