Posted By: Reginald Claremont on October 23, 2018 Three alumni from the Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law – Kevin A. Murray, Leonard Ohaebosim and Rodney Jones – will return to the campus during TSU’s homecoming week to premiere a movie for which they served as executive producers. “River Runs Red,” written, directed and produced by Wes Miller, and starring Taye Diggs, George Lopez, John Cusack, Luke Hemsworth, R.J. Mitte, and Gianni Capaldi, is an action movie involving two dads taking on corrupt cops. An exclusive screening of “River Runs Red” is scheduled for Wednesday, October 24, 2018, at Texas Southern University at the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs, 3100 Cleburne, Houston, TX. 77004. Seating begins at 6:30 p.m. and the showing will begin promptly at 7 pm. The movie follows Judge Charles Coleman (Diggs), whose son, recently accepted into the police academy, is shot at a traffic stop by two corrupt cops. While the official investigation finds no wrongdoing, Charles' detective friend Horace (Cusack) finds an unchecked pattern of violence with the same officers. Charles soon joins forces with a mechanic (Lopez) whose son was killed by the same police officers, and the two seek revenge, taking the law into their own hands. Cinedigm will release the film in select theaters and on VOD on Nov. 9, with Blu-ray and Ultra HD release set for Dec. 11. “With River Runs Red, Wes delivers a provocative, gripping spin on the classic vigilante genre,” said Yolanda Macias, Cinedigm’s executive vice president of acquisitions. “The entire cast is top-notch, and audiences will be stirred by the sheer dramatic force of Taye and George’s performances.” If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
