Paramount Pictures' Blue Story
‘Blue Story’ tells the story of two friends who went to the same school but unfortunately live in neighboring London boroughs. Best friends Timmy and Marco attend high school together in Peckham, but nothing is meant to last. Marco ends up being beaten by a couple of Timmy’s primary school friends. This sets the two of them off on two entirely different paths involving two separate, but dangerous gangs.
The story of the movie is one that is based off of youtuber Rapman’s series of the same name. So, in his directorial debut, he is also the narrator for the movie. The movie is narrated, funny enough, through the medium of rap. ‘Blue Story’ is based around his childhood and depicts the real life gangs, the Peckham Boys and Ghetto Boys. This film has already been said to be a “powerful depiction of the futility of gang violence.”
‘Blue Story’ stars Stephen Odubola, Micheal Ward, Rohan Nedd, Kadeem Ramsay, Khali Best, and Junior Afolabi Salokun. The movie, as said already is being directed by Rapman, real name Andrew Onwubolu. Since it is based on Rapman’s youtube series of the same name, of course he is also responsible for writing the screenplay for the movie. This movie is being produced by Damian Jones and Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor. ‘Blue Story’ will release to theaters in the United States on the 20th of March 2020.
