Writer-director Wes Miller‘s (A Day to Die) highly-anticipated action-thriller Call Her King, starring Naturi Naughton (Notorious) and Lance Gross (“House of Payne”), is coming to BET+.
Call Her King follows Judge Jaeda King (Naughton), who has just sentenced Sean Samuels (Mitchell) to death when the courthouse is hijacked by Samuels’ brother Gabriel, also known as Black Caesar (Gross). The Judge must then rely on her wits, strength, and skill to find a way to end the standoff, save the hostages and fight her way out.
Jason Mitchell, Johnny Messner, Nicholas Turturro, Tobias Truvillion, Garrett Hendricks, and Shiobann Amisial also star.
The film marks the first production of Andrew van den Houten and Miller’s newly formed BLacklight Entertainment banner. BLacklight’s mission is to provide quality opportunities for people of color and other traditionally disadvantaged people in front of and behind the camera. Van den Houten and Miller produced the film for the company.
Call Her King premieres on BET+ on July 6, 2023.
