‘Newborn’ Teaser Trailer: David Oyelowo Leads Nate Parker’s Psychological Thriller Coming To AMC Theatres April 10

AMC Theatres and Mansa have teamed up for a psychological thriller, “Newborn,” coming out this spring that boasts a cast featuring David Oyelowo, Olivia Washington, Barry Pepper, and Jimmie Fails.

This genre-bending new movie marks a reunion of sorts as Oyelowo and Pepper had previously worked together on the Western miniseries, “Lawmen: Bass Reeves,” which was part of a string of TV projects developed by Taylor Sheridan.

An official synopsis for the new thriller provided by Mansa:

“Newborn” follows Chris Newborn (Oyelowo), who, after serving seven years in solitary confinement, seeks to rebuild his life and reconnect with his family, only to find that freedom has become a terrifying psychological battleground. An emotionally charged, edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller that will stay with audiences long-after the end credits roll.

Oyelowo is lining up high-profile projects like a new iteration of “Othello” with former James Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli attached, Rachel Brosnahan and Cynthia Erivo set to co-star. Also, is looking to link up with his “Selma” director, Ava DuVernay, for her British Museum heist flick, “Heist of Benin,” at StudioCanal.

The film’s writer/director, Nate Parker, leads a producing team that also consists of Oyelowo, Aaron L. Gilbert, and Christina Lee Storm. Parker, you might remember, was on-the-rise until a sexual assault allegation from his college days derailed his Hollywood career, and could explain why the movie is going to be screened in limited locations.
