Today on CultureSlate, we begin a brand new recurring series of articles: A Trip To Trailer Park
The goal of this series is to spotlight new movie trailers released this week and hopefully inspire you to check them out. I’m a firm believer in expanding one’s film and television horizons, so hopefully you, the reader, will be inspired to do the same! Since this debut episode is at the end of the month (at least when I was writing it, I’m sick, ok!), we’ll be looking at the last 2 weeks of trailers. Hey, the more trailers the better, right?!
I Love Boosters (Dir. Boots Riley)
Visionary director Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) returns with his long-awaited sophomore feature film. Centered on a group of boosters called the Velvet Gang, led by a woman named Corvette (played by Keke Palmer). Boosters steal clothes from high-fashion stores and resell them at retail prices to marginalized communities. Expected to feature the same sci-fi insanity and timely social commentary as Riley’s previous work, I Love Boosters stars Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, and Demi Moore. I Love Boosters breaks into theaters on May 22nd.
