SORRY TO BOTHER YOU is shaping up to be one of this year’s most unique indie gems and one that already has critics raving. Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Terry Crews, Omari Hardwick and more star in this movie about a man who sacrifices his ideals for success and money, and the movie looks even bolder with a surreal new red band trailer. If you thought the movie looked crazy before wait until you factor in some F-bombs, aggressive sex, and a tease of Armie Hammer’s snorting of a massive cocaine line.
In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, black telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success – which propels him into a macabre universe.
The movie debuted at Sundance this year and was picked up by Annapurna Pictures and is set for release on July 6. The movie has earned great reviews and stands at a 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes (read Chris Bumbray’s review here), and stands to do very well in limited release. You can even head to a “Paraphernalia Store” to buy STBY-themed merch, like earring, bags, and shirts. You know, in case you know for sure you’re going to love the movie and want to shell out some money early.
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU arrives in limited theaters July 6.
