Quavo, a member of the Migos, will star in Takeover, a feature film directed by Greg Jonkajtys and produced by Quality Films, Quality Control Music, and Trioscope’s production arm.
The rapper will play new parolee Guy Miller, who is attempting to start anew against the backdrop of Atlanta’s street takeover car culture. However, his quest for a clean slate is cut short when he is dragged back into the takeover world and forced to “live up to his reputation as one of the slipperiest street operators in a lethal, head-on race against time.”
To execute the car stunts, Takeover will use Trioscope’s own animation technique, which blends live-action performances and animation, according to Deadline.
Takeover is written by Die Hard’s Jeb Stuart and Marvel’s Agent Carter’s Brandon Easton, and produced by L.C. Crowley, Brandon Barr, Jonkajtys, Kevin “Coach K” Lee, Pierre “P” Thomas, Brian Sher, Stuart, Don Mandrik, Quavo and Jen McDaniels.
“I’m really excited for this opportunity, especially shooting in my hometown of Atlanta. This film is an ideal opportunity to further delve into my craft, and I can’t wait to see how the action plays out in this animated environment,” Quavo said in a statement.
Crowley added, “With our unique approach, we’re able to transcend traditional storytelling and immerse viewers into the elaborate, fast-paced world of street takeovers.”
“The film brings together the industry’s most talented visionaries both on and off the screen,” shared Sher. “We’re thrilled to deliver an unparalleled edge-of-your seat ride that will introduce many viewers to a world they never knew existed.”
“We are excited to be partnering with the teams from Trioscope and Quality Control on what we anticipate to be the first of many projects together, as they collectively represent some of the best and brightest content creators in the industry,” said Mandrik.
