To add more icing to the cake of honoring the past, this photo comes from the official Isaac Hayes memorial Twitter account, and his son, Isaac Hayes III is in the photo along with the original Shaft Richard Roundtree, Samuel L. Jackson and Jessie T. Usher.
These Shaft cats are bad mother… seriously, it’s pretty cool to see all three generations of Shaft actors together here and, of course, rocking the character’s signature color.
Isaac Hayes won an Oscar for Best Original Song for the 1971, film and it looks like his son will be involved in the new film as well.
This photo lets us know that the new Shaft movie is finally filming and these effortlessly cool characters will grace cinema screens soon.
