In a surprising twist, hip hop stars Freddie Gibbs and YG, along with WWE’s CM Punk, are set to shake up the horror film scene with their roles in the upcoming indie movie, ‘Night Patrol.’
Slated for a 2025 release, ‘Night Patrol,’ directed by Ryan Prows, brings a unique narrative to the screen. The story follows a determined LAPD officer, played by Jermaine Fowler, who must set aside gang rivalries to confront a frightening secret harbored by a local police task force.
This indie film promises to blend horror with social commentary, reflecting on complex issues within urban communities. Meanwhile, the involvement of established actors like Justin Long and RJ Cyler, alongside Gibbs and YG, suggests a blend of talent that aims to bring authenticity and depth to the narrative.
Freddie Gibbs is no stranger to the acting world. He previously garnered praise for his role in ‘Down With The King’ as Money Merc, where his performance earned acclaim but also left fans feeling he deserved more recognition in major award circuits. His acting journey began with a deep dive into the works of Hollywood icons, especially his favorite, Samuel L. Jackson.
In contrast, YG has dabbled in film through directing his short film tied to his 2014 album. His transition to acting marks a new chapter in his career, building on his music industry success. Both artists bring their unique styles and experiences to ‘Night Patrol,’ promising to deliver compelling performances.
With a dynamic cast and a thrilling storyline, ‘Night Patrol’ is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of horror and hip-hop alike. There’s no doubt that this film will offer a fresh take on the genre.
