The newly released movie bill forBlacKkKlansmanfeatures stars Adam Driver and John David Washington -who happens to be Denzel Washington ’s son- standing before a white trigon reminiscent of a klan member ’s hood . The simple tagline“Infiltrate Hate”aligns with the crucial focus of the film , and additional credits illuminate the interest ofGet Out ’s Jordan Peele , who cobalt - produces the film alongside Jason Blum and his production company Blumhouse .
Driver and Washington both feature prominently in theBlacKkKlansmantrailerwhich dropped in May , playing the roles of Stallworth and his married person detective Flip Zimmerman , who attend to face - to - human face meetings with the Klan in Stallworth ’s stead . This trailer alsorevealed thespian Topher Grace , who plays white supremacist and former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke , hoodwinked by Stallworth in a headphone call profess to be an eager new convert to the case . The relationship between Stallworth and Zimmerman seems effectively clarified in the notice as well , with Washington keeping binoculars , demonstrating his virtual coordination of the investigation from afar .
Stallworth break color barriers as a rookie officer in the Colorado Springs Police Department , and his extraordinary and ultimately successful undercover infiltration into the KKK sounds like an inspired basis for a summer film . Despite the manifestly serious depicted object affair , the true story origination , and the current era in which it ’s presented , the trailer tinge at an experimental and entertaining hook -BlacKkKlansmanseems to flux the accessible nature of a buddy pig celluloid with an insightful geographic expedition of historical racism , a subject consistently relevant in our present daylight .
