Superfly remake shifts Blaxploitation classic to Atlanta
The 2018 film directed by X stars Trevor Jackson as Youngblood Priest a polished drug lord who aims to exit crime with one last score. Co stars Jason Mitchell Lex Scott Davis Andrea Londo and Esai Morales while Big Boi Jennifer Morrison and Michael Kenneth Williams have notable roles. The remake relocates from Harlem to suburban Atlanta and blends Future's hip hop with a reworked Curtis Mayfield score though critics say it lacks the edge of the 1972 original and leans into music video flair.
