Netflix
Netflix has released the first teaser for their upcoming ensemble comedy You People, which features two-time Academy Award nominee Jonah Hill as a dude trying to convince his Black girlfriend’s father — played by the iconic Eddie Murphy — that he’s worthy of marrying his daughter.
The film was written by Hill and director Kenya Barris, who is also the creator of the ABC series black-ish and director of films such as Girls Trip, Shaft, The Witches, and Coming 2 America. While You People does not have an official release date, Netflix has announced that the film will debut on the streaming service in January of 2023.
In addition to Hill and Murphy, You People also stars the legendary Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lauren London, Sam Jay, Molly Gordon, Mike Epps, Nia Long, Deon Cole, Rhea Perlman, and David Duchovny. Given that this teaser didn’t even showcase half of the film’s talent, expect another trailer to be released before it drops in November.
You People marks yet another return to the spotlight for Jonah Hill, who hadn’t appeared in a film since 2019’s The Beach Bum prior to the release of Don’t Look Up late last year. In addition to those projects, Hill also recently directed the documentary Stutz, which is about his therapist Dr. Phil Stutz, and is also starring as Jerry Garcia in a Grateful Dead biopic directed by Martin Scorsese.
Back in November, it was also reported that Keanu Reeves had signed on to star in Hill’s Outcome, which will be his second feature film following 2018’s Mid90s. Furthermore, there are rumors that Hill has also signed on to play “the bad boy of golf” John Daly in an upcoming biopic, which is just an absolutely perfect casting choice.
