Shaft is written by Kenya Barris (Girls Trip, TV’s Black-ish) & Alex Barnow (TV’s The Goldbergs), based upon the character John Shaft from the novel by Ernest Tidyman.
Absent throughout JJ’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson) agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly.
Serving as executive producers are Tim Story, Ira Napoliello, Kenya Barris, Marc S. Fischer, Richard Brener and Josh Mack.
New Line Cinema has released the first trailer for the new Shaft movie!
