Michael B Jordan will star in Denzel Washington’s latest film as director – and here’s the trailer for the film.
Denzel Washington will return to directing for the first time since 2016’s Fences with A Journal For Jordan, a family drama about the destructive impact of war upon an American family. The film is set to be released just before Christmas with the trailer now available to watch.
Michael B Jordan stars in the film, alongside Chanté Adams, with the story recounting ‘the journal 1st Sgt. Charles Monroe King wrote for their son. He had left for the Middle East before his son was born, and wrote this journal while stationed in Iraq to tell him how to live a decent life despite growing up without a father.’
Jordan, who has completed a spate of physically-demanding action roles in the last few years, has talked about enjoying the switch to a more romantic film, saying “it was a good change of pace. I’ve done a lot of physical roles, because that’s been my appetite. I’m 34; the last seven years has been [about] physically developing into your sweet spot. I felt safe to be able to go into this, to explore these characters, and to be vulnerable in that type of way. I consider myself a romantic. I like love. I’ve had an amazing example of what love looks like growing up. There’s a certain level of catering to that I enjoy. Typically I don’t watch a lot of romantic movies. That’s not my go-to, it was just the right time to do it.”
You can catch the trailer for the film below, ahead of its release in time for Christmas.
