True To The Game and This Christmas helmer Preston A. Whitmore II is setting forth in 2020 with his newest crime drama, Dutch. A Manny Halley Production has unveiled a second trailer with a Novembet 27 select theatrical release in the works, with a cast headlined by Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne actor Lance Gross.
Dutch is based on the first book of an epic trilogy by author Teri Woods, which launched in 2009 and became heralded by critics and fans as an urban literary classic. The film centers on Bernard James, Jr. aka “Dutch” (Gross), a player who gains control of an African drug lord’s heroine business and effectively ascends to the top of the food chain, only to find himself surrounded by enemies, including a vengeful mafia boss who happens to be a district attorney and former friend.
Also starring are Markice Moore (“Snowfall”), Miles Stroter (“The Quad”), Robert Costanzo (“Modern Family”) and Natasha Marc (“Ballers”).
“This film is lit and features an all-star cast,” says Manny Halley, Dutch producer and founder of Imani Motion Pictures. “DUTCH is an iconic story within the urban literary genre, so we had to get every detail right – and I’m very proud of what we accomplished! Also, we are thrilled to be introduce the ever talented Multi-Platinum rapper Gunna in his feature film debut. You will see a side of him that you’ve never seen before and I promise you will be wowed by his performance. Come join us in theaters on Thanksgiving weekend and experience Dutch’s story!”
The film is also produced by Rodney Turner II and Yolanda Halley.
