Source Exclusive: Future Talks Scoring And Producing SUPERFLY

SUPERFLY the remake is coming to digital, blu-ray and DVD!

The new version of the 1972 film, SUPERFLY introduced a certified blaxploitation classic to a new generation.  Lex Scott Davis (“Training Day”) and Jennifer Morrison (“Once Upon a Time”) star in the story of a successful young drug dealer who sets up one last job in hopes of retiring while dealing with a team of unavoidable obstacles. Hailing from directing legendary music videos for the elite artists, Director X puts an Atlanta spin on the remake and calls in rapper Future to produce the soundtrack. ‘I wanted to hand the music to someone who would have the vision. That would understand the world and could make a commentary on it and there’s only one person and it’s Future.’

Check out this exclusive clip detailing the birth of of the soundtrack and how the songs embody the film.

 

SUPERFLY explodes onto digital August 28, and Blu-ray™ and DVD September 11 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and features extras including the music video for Future Featuring Party Next Door’s “No Shame” and  the Making of the‘No Shame’ Music Video
