La La Anthony is getting to some trouble…
The 44-year-old Afro-Puerto Rican television personality and actress is starring in Trouble Man!, an action comedy from Michael Jai White that recently wrapped production.
The Samuel Goldwyn Films project, in which White directs and stars in, also stars Method Man, Gillian White, Mike Epps and Orlando Jones.
Filmed under the Georgia Production Program, the film stars White as Jaxen, a former cop turned private detective living in Atlanta. When famed R&B singer Jahari goes missing, Jaxen is hired to find and save her. As he investigates, he realizes her disappearance is tied to a much larger conspiracy of lies and deceit, which makes him question everyone around him and confront his own past.
White and Michael Stradford penned the script, with Craig Baumgarten producing.
Samuel Goldwyn Films financed the film for release it next year, following past collaborations with White on the actioner As Good as Dead and Western Outlaw Johnny Black.
Said White in a statement on the project, “I am profoundly blessed and proud to serve my fanbase and help to resurrect light to the Urban Action Comedy genre!”
Added Samuel Goldwyn Films CEO Ben Feingold, “We’re very excited to expand our relationship with Michael Jai White to include this great new story from Michael Stradford and Michael Jai White. We look forward to bringing “TROUBLE MAN!” to audiences in the second half of next year.”
