MGM released the first trailer for the forthcoming film ‘American Fiction’, which features Jeffery Wright as a struggling author whose attempt to spoof the world of entertainment inadvertently finds success.
Synopsis: American Fiction is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.
Wright will be joined in the cast by Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown. American Fiction is helmed by writer and director Cord Jefferson.
Erika Alexander stars as Coraline and Jeffrey Wright as Thelonious “Monk” Ellison in writer/director Cord Jefferson’s AMERICAN FICTION
