The
immigration
ordeal
that
21
Savage
endured
back
in
2019
leading
to
his
arrest
will
get
a
stylistic
depiction
via
film
starring
actors
Donald
Glover
and
Caleb
McLaughlin.
Both
actors
will
portray
21
Savage
at
various
stages
of
his
life
and
a
new
trailer
shows
off
the
pair,
face
tattoos
and
all.
Stylized
on
YouTube
as
the
american
dream:
the
21
savage
story,
the
trailer
for
the
film,
directed
by
Stephen
Glover,
Jamal
Olori,
Fam
Udeorji,
and
Luis
Perez,
opens
with
Donald
Glover,
donning
dreadlocks,
being
arrested
by
ICE
officials
and
hauled
off
to
prison.
As
the
clip
progresses,
Caleb
McLaughlin,
playing
the
younger
version
of
21,
is
seen
facing
off
with
the
rapper
inside
an
interrogation
room,
displaying
21
delivering
a
new
song.
Further
in
the
clip,
actress
Gail
Bean,
apparently
playing
a
family
member
of
21,
speaks
to
McLaughlin
in
character,
and
another
scene
shows
popular
social
media
star
Druski
bullying
the
rapper.
Later
in
the
trailer,
Glover
depicts
in
a
scene
how
21
arrived
at
his
stage
name
while
in
a
recording
studio.
Written
by
Jamal
Olori
and
Stephen
Glover,
the
film
does
not
yet
have
a
release
date
but
is
created
in
conjunction
with
Lionsgate,
Epic
Records,
and
21
Savage’s
Slaughter
Gang
imprint.
The
film
also
stars
Jabari
Banks,
Chad
Lindberg,
Victoria
Pedretti,
Young
Mazino,
and
Natasha
Lyonne.
One
can
imagine
with
the
Glover
brothers
involved,
the
film
will
take
twists
and
turns
outside
of
a
normal
biopic.
