The Bullitts (@TheBullitts) – They Die By Dawn (Trailer)

November 8, 2012 JUKEBOXDC Staff Music 1 Comment  

So The Bullitts have revealed a trailer to their forthcoming film ‘They Die By Dawn’, and boy is it a movie…..quite literally.

Written and directed by Jeymes Samuel (as if anyone else would be behind a Bullitts production of this magnitude), ‘They Die By Dawn’ is “set in the town of Langston, Oklahoma, which was one of the first black settlements post slavery, in the year 1890, where four outlaws with bounties on their individual heads meet up to play a game to the death, with the last man standing taking the collective bounty.”

The visual is also packing an ensemble cast, with a lot of Americans to boot: the piece stars Michael K. Williams, Isaiah Washington, Bokeem Woodbine, Nate Parker, Jesse Williams, Rosario Dawson, Erykah Badu, Harry Lennix, Denzel Whitaker, David Banner and Roger Guenveur Smith.

The movie drops in 2013, and will be accompanied by a soundtrack which will feature Jay Electronica, Erykah Badu and more (including, I assume, Samuel’s Bullitts).
