SuperFly (2018)

SuperFly is a modern reimagining of the 1972 blaxploitation classic Super Fly, directed by Director X and starring Trevor Jackson, Jason Mitchell, and Michael K. Williams.

The film follows Youngblood Priest (Trevor Jackson), a suave and ambitious drug dealer in Atlanta who has built a lucrative empire. Despite his success, Priest is tired of the dangerous life he leads and wants to make one final, massive deal that will allow him to retire and live a life of luxury and peace.

However, as Priest tries to orchestrate his exit from the drug trade, he finds himself entangled in a web of violence, betrayal, and corruption. His plans are complicated by rival gangs, crooked cops, and his own associates, who all have their own agendas. As the stakes rise, Priest must use his street smarts, connections, and charm to navigate the dangerous underworld and escape with his life and fortune intact.

SuperFly combines stylish action sequences with a sleek visual aesthetic, set against the backdrop of Atlanta’s vibrant nightlife. The film features a modern soundtrack and updates the original story to reflect contemporary themes, while still retaining the essence of the original film’s focus on ambition, survival, and the quest for power.
