Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson are a tricky act to observe, and I will go away it to the reader to determine whether or not Sinqua Partitions and Jack Harlow present a spark of the identical chemistry or whether or not this 30-second teaser leaves you feeling the identical means as Partitions on the finish when he says, “I knew this was a mistake.”

One factor that is instantly noticeable is that this model of “White Males Cannot Soar” has been up to date with post-1992 movie references, as Harlow’s character likens himself to “the P.T. Anderson of basketball psychological warfare.” It isn’t clear if he and Partitions are enjoying Billy Hoyle and Sidney Deane, the identical characters as Harrelson and Snipes, since no official synopsis has been launched but with their character names. However Partitions’ character does not even know who Anderson is, and he proceeds to argue that Spike Lee is our best residing filmmaker. You can undoubtedly make a case for that in 1992 when Lee was contemporary off movies like “Do the Proper Factor” and “Malcolm X.”

The unique “White Males Cannot Soar” was written and directed by former minor league baseball participant Ron Shelton, who helmed a lot of different sports activities movies, together with “Bull Durham,” “Blue Chips,” “Cobb,” “The Nice White Hype,” and “Tin Cup.” It co-starred Rosie Perez as Harrelson’s girlfriend, an aspiring “Jeopardy” contestant who did not approve of him hustling L.A. avenue ballers together with his school basketball abilities.

The brand new “White Males Cannot Soar,” starring Partitions and Harlow, hits Hulu on Could 19, 2023.
