One of the movies I’m really looking forward to seeing this year is Straight Outta Compton. Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures have released a new TV spot for it, which you can watch below.
In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.
The movie was directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off, The Italian Job), and it stars Ice Cube's son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., as Ice Cube, Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre, Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E, and Paul Giamatti as manager Jerry Heller.
The biopic opens in theaters on August 14th.
