The first images for the upcoming comedy, YouPeople, showcases its star-studded cast which includes Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Nia Long, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Netflix has released a new trailer and first-look images of You People, the feature directorial debut of Kenya Barris. While the movie was announced as a romantic comedy, Barris will inspect the themes of love through the lenses of social conflict, making You People his new exploration of racial stereotypes in America.
While the trailer underlines You People is a comedy and does talk about romance, Barris is not deviating from the everyday conflicts between people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. That was to be expected, considering Barris' history. While You People is the filmmaker’s first feature as a director, Barris is known for creating Black-ish to BlackAF, two popular sitcoms about the challenges of being Black in the US.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Barris' entire body of work is about racism and the cultural identity of Black people, and we shouldn’t expect anything else from You People. The movie’s title is a direct reference to an expression frequently used in racist speeches since “you people” is used to erase any trace of identity from an individual and reduce them to racial stereotypes.
Who’s Involved in You People? Barris directs You People from a script he wrote with Jonah Hill. Barris and Hill also produce alongside Kevin Misher. Executive producers include David Hyman, Matt Dines, Hale Rothstein, Alison Goodwin, Mychelle Deschamps, Andy Berman, and Charisse Hewitt-Webster. Barris is currently involved as a writer for a sequel to White Men Can't Jump, the classic 90s movie starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. The sequel stars Grammy-nominated rapper Jack Harlow and actor Sinqua Walls in leading roles. It also has professional basketball players Blake Griffin and Ryan Kalil as executive producers on the project.
