Disney’s Andscape has debuted the trailer for its highly anticipated new film, ‘The Man in My Basement,’ starring Corey Hawkins, Willem Dafoe and Anna Diop.
In the African American neighbourhood of Sag Harbour, New York, Charles Blakey (Corey Hawkins) is out of work, out of luck and on the verge of foreclosure on his ancestral home. A knock on the door from a mysterious businessman, Anniston Bennet (Willem Dafoe), brings a bizarre and lucrative proposition: rent his dusty stand-up basement out for the summer and receive enough money to clear his debts for good. Once Charles accepts, he finds himself led down a terrifying path that confronts his family’s ghosts and locks the men in a terrifying puzzle, at the heart of it, race, the source of their traumas and the root of all evil.
The film, directed by Nadia Latif, will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Masterfully adapted from Walter Mosley’s acclaimed novel. Jonathan Ajayi, Gershwyn Eustache Jnr., Pamela Nomvete, Tamara Lawrance also star.
