Blavity’s Shadow and Act has an exclusive preview of Shameik Moore, Jay Ellis, Langston Kerman and Rell Battle in the new comedy film, The Gutter.

The film, written by Yassir Lester and co-written with Isaiah Lester, features Moore as his character, Walt, is on his way to superstardom by way of bowling. Walt finds himself in the biggest competition of his life when a retired bowler comes back to reclaim her crown. Susan Sarandon and D’Arcy Carden also star alongside Moore.

In the all-new clip from the film, Moore’s character, Walt, is seen conducting an interview that highlights his rise to the top while simultaneously introducing his squad, played by Ellis, Kerman and Battle, to the world.

What is The Gutter about?

According to its official synopsis:

In THE GUTTER, when frequently fired Walt (Moore) lands a position tending bar and de-roaching shoes at his local bowling alley AlleyCatz, he feels like he’s finally found a home. When money issues threaten AlleyCatz, Walt is pressured by former pro-bowler and current champion drinker Skunk (Carden) to accept his role as the greatest bowler ever put on this earth. While Walt’s love of big checks and in-your-face style of play dominates the pro tour, his detractors, including ratings-obsessed news anchor Angelo Powers and fresh-out-of-retirement bowling-legend Linda “The Crusher” Curson (Sarandon), furiously attempt to snuff out Walt’s flame before it burns too bright.

The Gutter also features Tony Baker, Kim Fields, Paul Scheer, Paul Reiser, Adam Pally and Adam Brody.
