[Trailer] Supernatural Thriller ‘Body Cam’ Stars Mary J. Blige, Anika Noni Rose

Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for Body Cam. The film, starring Mary J. Blige, was initially intended for a theatrical release but will now debut on digital through Paramount Players in association with BET Films.

Body Cam is directed by Malik Vitthal, who helmed the 2014 Netflix drama Imperial Dreams starring John Boyega. The official description reads, “While investigating the bizarre murder of a fellow officer, veteran Renee Lomito (Mary J. Blige) discovers a mysterious figure in their body cam footage. Haunted by visions of the event, she suspects something supernatural is targeting the cops in her unit. Now, in a race against time to find the one person she thinks can stop these killings, Renee uncovers a sinister secret among the police force surrounding the shooting and cover-up of an unarmed youth. Nat Wolff also stars in this intense action thriller.”

The film stars 9-time Grammy winner and Oscar nominee Mary J. Blige  (Mudbound) as Renee, Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars) as Danny, and Anika Noni Rose (The Princess and the Frog) as Taneesha Brand. It will also feature Theo Rossi (Luke Cage), David Zayas (Dexter), and Demetrius Grosse (Straight Outta Compton).

The film is described as a blend of Get Out and End of Watch. It is from a spec script written by Richmond Riedel (Shooter) and rewritten by Nic McCarthy and John Ridley (12 Years a Slave).

The film will be available for digital purchase on May 19 and lands on-demand for rent on June 2.
