This film is still set to land in theaters starting in September in a few months. Hell bent on avenging the death of his father, Johnny Black vows to gun down Brett Clayton and becomes a wanted man in the process. So he goes into hiding, posing as a preacher in a small mining town that’s been taken over by a notorious Land Baron. The film stars MJW with Anika Noni Rose, Erica Ash, Byron Minns, Kym Whitley, Eme Ikwuakor, and Tony Baker. This project has been in the works for years, it’s finally getting a chance to shine on the big screen in 2023. Almost seems like fun spoof comedy, which I think is the point.
