Music video gurus DANIELS, a.k.a. Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, craft a wholly original debut feature bursting with limitless creativity both in content and form. Their consistently surprising script spans a wide range of emotions: from the ridiculously absurd to a touching exploration of what it means to be human. Not to mention, it’s a musical. Given what are likely to be some of the most unique roles of their acting careers, co-leads Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe give their all to a movie that celebrates the wonder that cinema offers.”

We’ve got our hands on the first official pictures of The Birth of a Nation, the upcoming drama movie written and directed by Nate Parker and starring Nate Parker, Armie Hammer, Aja Naomi King, Jackie Earle Haley, and Gabrielle Union:

(Click on a picture to enlarge.)

Plot synopsis:
“Set in the 19th-century Southern United States before the Civil War, this story follows Nat Turner (Nate Parker), a literate slave and preacher, whose financially strained owner, Samuel Turner, accepts an offer to use Nat’s preaching to subdue unruly slaves. After witnessing countless atrocities against fellow slaves, Nat devises a plan to lead his people to freedom.”

Feeling like you heard that movie title before? Well, this new movie shares the same title as some racist movie released in 1915, it fell into public domain and is available on youtube:

The Birth of a Nation (1915 film by D.W Griffith)

Don’t worry Nat Parker’s movie isn’t a remake of that old racist film. Nate Parker’s The Birth of a Nation is on the good side of the force and will redeem the title it shares with Griffith’s movie!

The film has yet to get an official release date.
:)

Update – listen to Director Nate Parker in those videos:
