Craig Brewer (Coming 2 America)

Coming 2 America director Craig Brewer shot the last day of the joyful comedy on the John Singleton sound stage at Tyler Perry studios — 15 years after Singleton gave him his big break, and made him promise to always "hire some Black people."Brewer's other films include Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan, the new Footloose, and Dolemite Is My Name. We talk with him about '80s movies that might not be green lit today, dodging the potential pitfalls of sequels, and being in the service of African-American culture. Hosted on Acast.
