While Blackkklansman may have just made its Cannes Film Festival premiere today, Focus Features decided to lets fans in on what all the buzz is about. Today, Focus Features released the official trailer for BlacKkKlansman, starring Adam Driver, John David Washington, Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace. This film is based on the book Black Klansman which was written by Ron Stallworth who details his real-life experience of how he infiltrated the KKK. From the looks of the trailer, this movie is going to be a fun ride. I love the chemistry Adam Driver, and John David Washington have, and the movie looks hilarious even though the subject matter may be deemed controversial. It is also great seeing John David Washington step into the spotlight after being a fan favorite on the HBO series Ballers. Make sure you check out the synopsis and official trailer below.
Movie Synopsis:
From visionary filmmaker, Spike Lee comes the incredible true story of an American hero. It’s the early 1970s, and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon recruits a more seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), into the undercover investigation of a lifetime. Together, they team up to take down the extremist hate group as the organization aims to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream. Produced by the team behind the Academy-Award® winning Get Out.

Spike Lee always knows how to keep you “woke”! This trailer has definitely peeked my interest. Can’t wait to see this one!
Not interested. Wait til I stumble across it on t.v.
This film looks like it could be interesting, but I am a little hesitant. Spike Lee knows how to stir the pot a little. In my experience, movies that come out in August are usually not good.
I will definitely see this movie I remember the story when they revealed it about a black klansman and the undercover police that was involved in it kudos to Spike Lee for taking on this subject matter
I can’t wait to see this movie, it looks like it will be funny and action packed
I’m a big fan of Spike Lee, so I am definitely up for seeing this.
I think I’ll end up seeing it… seems like it’ll have some funny moments here and there.. even watching the trailer I kind of turned my head a little and stopped paying attention… it’ll grow on me
This seems like movie I would rather see at home then go to the theaters to watch

Spike Lee is definitely hit or miss, but this looks like something I need to see.
Looks really good. He sounds so much like his daddy.
I saw this trailer at supper time. This story line has a rawness that will destroy us all when we see this movie. The casting is beautiful in this movie. The character development is beautiful and acting is timeless. I am looking to be taught something in this movie. I have my red book with my gold pen writing this movie down. I am looking forward to seeing this movie God’s willing. It will hit us in so many different ways. I am ready for this movie. Good day. <Mr. Lee}
I’ll be waiting for your review on this one. Spike has been letting me down as of late, but this story is interesting.
I’m interested to see it, especially to since it’s a true story.
Here for it!
I’m usually hesitant to see this type of movie, but it looks interesting.
