‘American Fiction’ Trailer | Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross + Issa Rae

“American Fiction” hits theaters on December 15th, today MGM revealed the trailer!

Based upon the novel “Erasure” by Percival Everett. Written for the screen and directed by Cord Jefferson.

“American Fiction” is Cord Jefferson‘s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes.

Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

Also starring Tracee Ellis Ross, John Ortiz, Erika Alexander, Leslie Uggams, Adam Brody, with Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown.
