February 9, 2023

*We caught up with the talented cast of the satirical thriller “A Lot of Nothing,” which marks the feature directorial debut of actor/director Mo McRae (The Flight Attendant, Sons of Anarchy).

This suspenseful tale has been described as “Wildly entertaining, humorous, and often absurd.”

“A Lot of Nothing” asks: What if a killer cop lived next door to you?

The dark drama stars Y’Ian Noel (Insecure), Cleopatra Coleman (The Last Man on Earth), Justin Hartley (This Is Us) Lex Scott Davis (Rebel) and Shamier Anderson (Invasion). EUR’s Ny MaGee spoke to the cast and director about how this story weaves current real-world trigger topics into a intriguing story that will leave you asking: What Would You Do?

Per the official synopsis:

James (Noel) and Vanessa (Coleman) seem to be the perfect couple – happily married, successful, and comfortable. One night, their lives are rocked to the core when, after watching a tragedy play out on the evening news, they realize their neighbor (Hartley) was involved. In a state of shock, and with opposing viewpoints on how to address the issue, they embark on a highly combustible journey to ‘do something’ about it.

Wildly entertaining, humorous, and often absurd, A LOT OF NOTHING acts as a funhouse mirror to reflect the best and worst of humanity – and how our experiences of race, class, family, fear, love, and happiness drive our choices today. Mo McRae dazzles in his feature directorial debut, with a keen visual eye and a fresh, compelling voice. With A LOT OF NOTHING, he offers a pointed take on the micro and macro dynamics at play in many of our lives, tackling them with nuance, finesse, and wit.

Per The Wrap, “The elitism exhibited, mostly by Vanessa (but cosigned by James, makes the couple increasingly unlikable.” But this is also precisely why I was immediately invested in where these two people would end up by the time the movie ends.
