Trioscope, in partnership with Quality Films, today announced that NAACP Image Award nominee Serayah (Empire, Kingdom Business) will star in the upcoming action-thriller Takeover, alongside multi-hyphenate Quavo (Atlanta, Wash Me in the River) and Billy Zane (The Boys, Titanic).
“Takeover,” which began filming earlier this month in Atlanta, will underscore the fascination and controversy surrounding Atlanta’s street takeovers – also known as “sideshows.” The feature-length film’s action-packed dramatic performances will be amplified using Trioscope’s proprietary technology that fuses live-action with groundbreaking CG.
In the film, Serayah plays “Lt. Keisha Jenner,” the leader of a special task force assigned to apprehending jewel thieves. Level-headed and always by the book, she’s disgusted by Sheriff ‘Herc’ Hitchens’ willingness to play outside the lines. Keisha also is the childhood friend of Guy Miller (Quavo), a recent parolee who’s attempting to rehabilitate his life when circumstances propel him back into Atlanta’s dangerous takeover scene.
Produced by Trioscope in partnership with Quality Films (Ice Cold, How High 2), the expanded film unit of premier music management and hip-hop mega-label Quality Control Music, Takeover is written by acclaimed and world-renowned action screenwriter Jeb Stuart (Die Hard, The Fugitive, The Vikings) a longtime Trioscope collaborator who wrote the World War II animated drama The Liberator (Netflix), and Brandon Easton (Marvel’s Agent Carter). “Takeover” is directed by Trioscope Chief Creative Officer Greg Jonkajtys, who directed The Liberator.
The news follows the recent announcement of Takeover World, which marked Trioscope’s first-ever Web3-enabled community designed to turbocharge the Takeover franchise by fully immersing its members within the Takeover universe. Within the Takeover World community, fans get the chance to collaborate in the development of the Takeover franchise, as well as a front-row seat and exclusive access to the making of the Takeover film and its cast and creators.
