Adi Shankar and Joseph Kahn, the filmmakers behind the popular “Power/Rangers” bootleg short film, are re-teaming for a feature-length satire about race relations, TheWrap has learned exclusively.
Kahn, who is directing “Bodied,” developed the story with screenwriter and champion battle rapper Alex “Kid Twist” Larsen. Shankar is producing alongside Jil Hardin and Bryan Brucks.
Although principle photography is already underway in Los Angeles, the log line is being kept under wraps. But “Bodied” tackles race relations using the world of hip-hop rap battles as an entry point.
Callum Worthy, Jackie Long, Rory Uphold, Anthony Michael Hall, Debra Wilson, Charlamagne tha God, Walter Perez and Shoniqua Shandai star in the film.
