“You know what scares me? I don’t want you to grow up to be like me.” Lionsgate has unveiled an official trailer for a movie titled 1992, from director Ariel Vromen. The title is a reference to the 1992 L.A. uprising after the Rodney King verdict – it’s set on the very first night of the riots. This is also Ray Liotta’s final film appearance and the film is dedicated to his memory. A shopkeeper must save his son from criminals intent on steal from his factory during the 1992 L.A. uprising after the Rodney King verdict. Tyrese Gibson stars as Mercer, a man trying to restart his life and reconcile with his son, played by Christopher A’mmanuel. Mercer faces another father and son, played by Ray Liotta & Scott Eastwood, who aim to steal catalytic converters from his workplace. He shows up and tries to stop them while reconnecting with his son. Gibson, A’mmanuel, Liotta, Eastwood co-star with Clé Bennett, Dylan Arnold, Michael Beasley, Ori Pfeffer, Tosin Morohunfola, and Oleg Taktarov. Described as a “tense crime-thriller”, this is now set to open in theaters at the end of August – after being delayed a few years. Doesn’t look great, but it does seem intense.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Ariel Vromen’s film 1992, direct from Lionsgate’s YouTube:

In 1992, Mercer (Tyrese Gibson) is desperately trying to rebuild his life and his relationship with his son Antoine (Christopher A’mmanuel) amidst the turbulent 1992 L.A. uprising after the Rodney King verdict. Across town, another father and son (Ray Liotta and Scott Eastwood) put their own strained relationship to the test as they plot a dangerous heist to steal catalytic converters, which contain valuable platinum, from the factory where Mercer works. As tensions rise in Los Angeles and chaos erupts around the city, both families reach their boiling points when they collide. 1992 is directed by producer / writer / filmmaker Ariel Vromen, director of the movies Jewel of the Sahara, Danika, Rx, Skeptical, The Iceman, Criminal, and The Angel previously and a few other projects. The screenplay is from Sascha Penn and Ariel Vromen, from a story by Sascha Penn. Produced by Ariel Vromen, Andreas Rommel, Maurice Fadida, Sascha Penn, and Adam Kolbrenner. This first premiered back in 2022 but hasn’t shown anywhere since then. Lionsgate opens Vromen’s 1992 in select US theaters starting on August 30th, 2024 coming soon. Who’s interested?
