In the event you noticed 21 Savage or Donald Glover post a film poster to Instagram for one thing referred to as American Dream: The 21 Savage Story, starring each Glover and Stranger Issues actor Caleb McLaughlin as Savage, you might have thought you have been dreaming. Nope. This isn’t just a few promo for a single drop — per a press launch, 21 actually is releasing a film with Glover and McLaughlin. He even dropped a four-minute trailer to show it, co-directed by Donald and Stephen Glover, Jamal Olori, and Fam Udeorji. The clip, which appears to give attention to 21’s 2018 ICE arrest, reveals the real-life 21 Savage rapping in a deposition room between scenes of Glover- and McLaughlin-as-21 getting concerned with crime and music, together with seems at co-stars like Jabari Banks, Victoria Pedretti, and Natasha Lyonne.
However we’re simply left with extra questions. Like, is that this extra of a visible album or a correct film? And if it’s a film, it’s occurring Tubi, proper? Are we getting a Infantile Gambino verse? Is Natasha Lyonne taking part in the Queen? And what number of “21” ad-libs can a function movie have? (Much more than 21, we’re certain.) We received’t be getting solutions for a bit, with the movie promised to be launched round Independence Day. Nevertheless, 21 Savage is giving a sampling of what’s to come back even sooner than July. “My third Solo Album AMERICAN DREAM This Friday !!!!🇬🇧🇺🇸,” he captioned the album art work, which reveals what seems to be a childhood photograph of him with varied authorized data overlaid. The album, that includes music impressed by the movie, is out this Friday, January 12.
