'Shaft' Sequel Set To Open American Black Film Festival 2019
In the trailer for the New Line Cinema action comedy we are re-introduced to the titular John Shaft II (Samuel L. Jackson) that was in the movie from 2000. We are also introduced to his son John Shaft Jr. (Jessie T. Usher)…who is not as slick as his pops. And as an added bonus the original John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) is folded into the mix. That’s a whole lotta Shaft. As seen in the trailer, familial hilarity ensues in the Tim Story-directed movie written by Kenya Barris.
The movie follows JJ, aka John Shaft Jr. He may be a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s untimely death, he needs an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout JJ’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly. And while JJ’s own FBI analyst’s badge may clash with his dad’s trademark leather duster, there’s no denying family. Besides, Shaft’s got an agenda of his own, and a score to settle that’s professional and personal.
The movie also stars Regina Hall, Alexandra Shipp, Matt Lauria, Titus Welliver, and Cliff “Method Man” Smith.The film is produced by John Davis (Game Night, Joy) under his Davis Entertainment banner. The movie is based upon the character John Shaft from the novel by Ernest Tidyman. Serving as executive producers are Richard Brener, Josh Mack, Tim Story, Ira Napoliello, Kenya Barris, and Marc S. Fischer.
Shaft is set for release on June 14. Watch the trailer above because Shaft is a bad mother — shut your mouth!

So they juss spoof shaft
Looks good to me.
They gonna have the son of people's walking down the street stabbing himself in the chest going you killed my father
Well damn.
I’m still a little worried that the trailer makes you think it’s going to be mostly Samuel Jackson but in reality it’s going to be a lot of Jessie T. There’s more slapstick then I’d like.
They want a Gay Shaft - Jessie Usher is as sweet as a sack of sugar. He screams closeted gay .
Anyway - a super underrated movie is Shaft with Samuel Jackson and if you want to see how superb an actor Jeffery Wright is remember he is also Bernard from Westworld -
Imagine Peoples Hernandez and Bernard occupying the same neighborhood let alone the same body. Amazing

I'm not gonna go that far, but dude definitely doesn't have "it," to be a star.... Survivors remorse was his lane, a show.. Not too serious, not over the top funny and a supporting cast that can carry some of the burden so its not on him and 30 mins
i saw the trailer and one thing i don't understand. i thought richard rountree's shaft was the uncle of the samuel l jackson shaft. but this trailer is saying now that the roundtree's shaft is jacksson's shaft father. 4 dimension? geechiedan? slam? you're the movie experts! did i hear it wrong?
