*The first trailer for director Kathryn Bigelow’s film “Detroit” was released Wednesday by Annapurna pictures.
John Boyega stars in the movie that explores systemic racism against the backdrop of Detroit’s devastating riots that took place over five summer days in 1967.
“I’ll sleep when they stop rioting,” Boyega says over the phone in the trailer.
“It’s a war zone out there,” a voiceover says later. “They’re destroying the city.”
John Krasinski, Jason Mitchell, Anthony Mackie, Will Poulter, Ben O’Toole, Jack Reynor, Jacob Latimore, Joseph David-Jones, Algee Smith, Kaitlyn Dever and Hannah Murray round out the cast.
Bigelow directs from an original screenplay by Mark Boal. She’s also producing with Boal, Annapurna’s Megan Ellison and Matthew Budman, and Colin Wilson, with Greg Shapiro executive producing.
“Detroit” is scheduled to hit theaters August 4.
