Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mary J. Blige Lead Cast in Heart-Wrenching True Story ‘Rob Peace’ | Watch Trailer

*The newly released trailer for the upcoming drama “Rob Peace,” starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mary J. Blige, and Camila Cabello, has dropped

Ejiofor wrote and directed the film based on the New York Times bestseller by Jeff Hobbs. “Rob Peace” is based on the true story of a brilliant young man (Jay Will) torn between his father’s shadowed past and his own promising future. Raised by his devoted mother  (Blige), Rob risks everything he has worked for to free his imprisoned father (Ejiofor). 

Blige serves as an executive producer on the project along with Jamin O’Brien, Morgan Earnest, Luke Rodgers, Jeff Skoll, Robert Kessel, Bruce Evans, Faye Stapleton, Ali Jazayeri, and David Gendron. The producing team includes Antoine Fuqua, Rebecca Hobbs, Jeffrey Soros, Simon Horsman, Andrea Calderwood, Kat Samick, Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet. 

“I’m thrilled to partner with Republic Pictures in bringing this extraordinary story to audiences,” Ejiofor said in a statement, per Entertainment Tonight. “Jeff Hobbs’ powerful book on Rob’s life fused together essential thoughts for me on race, housing, education, criminal justice, family and community. I can’t wait for audiences to experience Rob’s truly compelling life onscreen, at a time when the complex nature of social mobility remains as important as ever.”
