Posted byBy Jarel McRae | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Summit Entertainment has debut the new movie poster for upcoming movie Snitch, that stars Dwayne Johnson. Johnson will play in the Ric Roman Waugh’s action-thriller based on true events about a father who goes to great lengths to free his son from a 10 year prison sentence for a drug distribution crime.

The Snitch movie trailer was released last month, which showed Johnson playing alongside a phenomenal cast that includes Susan Sarandon, Benjamin Bratt and Barry Pepper.

Inspired by true events, Johnson is a father whose  son is accused of a drug distribution crime and is sentenced to 10 years in prison. Johnson goes where no average father will go, eager to rescue his son, he goes undercover on a dangerous mission, risking everything, including his family and his own life.

Johnson has had his hands full this past year as he’s been working on several other films that are planned to be released in 2013, which are G.I Joe: Retaliation, Pain & Gain and Empire State.

Snitch hits theaters February 22, 2013 and stars  Johnson, Saradnon,  Pepper,  Bratt, Jon Bernthal, Melina Kankaredes, Michael K. Williams and Rafi Gavron.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
