MGM on Sunday released the teaser trailer for Respect, which follows the rise of Franklin’s career from a child singing in her father’s church’s choir to her international superstardom. Franklin died in 2018.
Helmed by Liesl Tommy in her feature directorial debut, Respect also stars Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans, Audra McDonald, Tituss Burgess, Marc Maron, Kimberly Scott, Saycon Sengbloh, Hailey Kilgore, Heather Headley, Skye Dakota Turner, Tate Donovan and Mary J. Blige.
In a twinned announcement, MGM said it is taking Tomb Raider 2 off the calendar for now. The sequel, set to be directed by Ben Wheatley and once again starring Alicia Viakander, had been set to hit the big screen on March 19, 2021. Warner Bros. is handling the movie internationally, while it will go out in the U.S. through UA.
Paramount also made further changes to its release calendar on Tuesday, saying it is delaying the release of the CGI sports comedy Rumble from Jan. 29, 2021 to May 14, 2021.
