Mansa Productions founder Kellon Akeem announced today that Y’lan Noel (HBO’s “Insecure”, The First Purge) has been cast as the lead in Mo McRae’s directorial debut A Lot of Nothing.
“The film follows a couple living in a Los Angeles suburb who are compelled to take dangerous actions when they discover their next-door neighbor is the police officer that just murdered an unarmed motorist.”
Noel will play James Franklin, the husband, whose wife Vanessa takes vigilante justice into her own hands.
Producers for the thriller include Inny Clemons, McRae, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sarah Kelly Kaplan, Anonymous Content, Mansa Productions founder Kellon Akeem and Jason Tamasco on behalf of Bad Idea.
Golden Globe-nominated actor David Oyelowo will serve as an executive producer for the project along with Mansa Production’s Yandy Smith, Kim Hodgert and Nina Soriano on behalf of Anonymous Content as well as Zak Kristofek for Bad Idea and Ethan Lazar.
Shooting is set to begin this spring.
