Tessa Thompson, Steven Yeun to Star in ‘Sorry to Bother You’

Tessa Thompson, LaKeith Stanfield, and Steven Yeun are set to star in “Sorry to Bother You,” a drama from debuting director Boots Riley and Significants Productions, the studio behind Ryan Coogler’s debut feature film, “Fruitvale Station,”, a person close to the project told TheWrap.

[...] as he rises, he discovers a dark secret behind his company’s M.O., forcing him to choose between holding on to his newfound gains or siding with his activist friends and speak truth to power.

Prior to this film, director Boots Riley became known in the hip-hop world as the head of the politically-charged group The Coup, whose songs most famously appeared in the movie “Superbad.”
