After confirmation and months of leaked photos from the set, the trailer for Chocolate City with its bevy of literally chocolately male stars is looking too right! The cast includes the bodies, we mean faces, pardon us–TALENTS–of Robert Ri’chard, Michael Jai White, Tyson Beckford, Ginuwine and (representing for the ladies) Carmen Electra and our girl Vivica A. Fox.
Written and directed by Jean-Claude La Marre, he said he wanted to create a “brothas” answer to the successful Magic Mike film, which focuses on men turning to stripping to make ends meet. And we are here for ALL OF IT.
Chocolate City could be the sleeper hit of the spring season! Look for it when it hits cinemas.
And ladies. Be advised to bring an extra ice cold water bottle or two for this one!
