#TheBigCigar #Trailer #AppleTV
Melvin Van People’s made the best Black Panther movie to date.
Who tf is Melvin Van People’s?? I’m assuming you mean Mario Van Peebles
@@2TyminAzzKato Melvin Van Peoples is Mario’s father’s. Director, Writer etc.
Facts to bad you can’t purchase it
@@Akirenolye_ gotcha didn’t know that. Is it People’s tho?? That’s a weird last name
@@2TyminAzzKato lol it’s actually Peebles. Melvin made quite a few movies. His son Mario plays in a few of them. Posse being the first one that comes to mind.
Man, I thought that was Franklin’s father sitting in the chair! 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was Mike Epps as Richard Pryor 😅🥴
@@MorganAlexis Lol!!! I was like let me find out Alton was still alive! 🤣I remember the actor from Paid in Full!
The legacy of Huey Newton and the Black Panthers is too important and deep for this silly, whimsical, false portrayal. And no, I'm not impressed that it has a Black Executive Producer.
Most definitely… Like where is the seriousness of Huey
Wow. You’ve already seen it
@@bdaf07 No my friend ... the film trailer is sufficiently silly enough that I have no plans to EVER see it.
@@bdaf07 Wow, you think this is how Huey would like to be remembered? 🤦🏾♀️
@@IamLaniya again I ask, have you watched it?
I’m sure the people who made this had good intentions, but this story is so much bigger than a couple seasons. And there’s no way these people could be as passionate about this as they need to be.
This series isn't about Huey and the black panthers, we already know what they did. It's about a portion of Huey life, an event that happened.
Respectfully, we all out here for a serious bio-pic or mini-series, this doesn't look like it digs in but we shall see. Have always thought that the lead should play John Coltrane in a bio pic, bit light but looks exactly like him
I like this actor he was on that show The Knick
Dope show his name was Algie. First time I ever heard my name on the TV! He was A Dictir as well as A fighter outside of the hospital. Man I wish that show was still on
...Andre Holland ❤❤❤
Who knew there was entire film genre based on historical events that used fake movies to carry out an escape plot. If this is half as good as Argo I'm all in.
dont ask langley any questions at this time
That brotha from Snow Fall had the most authentic heroic energy to play a Black Panther.
Is there an echo in here? Bruh Dris would crush the role of T'challa.
@@MentalStillness I was talking about the actor named *"Kevin Carroll"* who played the father.
Andre Holland 🔥🔥🔥
Ohh like reverse Argo... I'm in!
This looks amazing!
"The real issue in America isn't black vs white. It's rich vs poor" - Dr. Huey P Newton, founder of the Black Panther Party.
He was very wrong about that. The issue is was and forever will be about white vs black
He is correct....they make us fight each other to distract us from the the real enemy.
Who is us?
I tell you right now brother the issue is poor vs rich, racism is a distraction @@christopherhanford8021
@@christopherhanford8021 💯
from the producers of claws & winning time…. yeahh im in 🙌🏾
Actual Black Americans, playing Black Americans. What a novel idea.
Actual Black Americans, playing Black Americans😲😲😲
I hope you keep same energy for Africans. But I know you won’t 😂
Yall, got a spirit of divisiveness
Exactly. Imagine that, actual Foundational Black Americans playing our own FBA heroes
@@damonvincent2339 FBA = Agent. I am ADOS
I knew Franklin pops wasnt dead lol.
That's not him😂😂😂
They definitely look alike but that’s not Kevin Carroll AKA Alton.
Definitely not Alton
Yes i was in Cuba at the time knew him his wife and two kids. He and my mother only Americans in Havana at the time. I have lots of photos with him in Cuba very interesting person.
I hope they do him justice. Huey is a legend b
Can’t wait for this one!
Looks good honestly
Looks good.
Ok. Added to the calendar!
Nice. Love the trailer. Added this to my watch list.
A lot of lies not the true story.
Is this your innie or outtie asking?
@@yzyz349how u know...u watched it already?
I guess we're never getting that sequel to The Knick.
I love it.
waiting
Brilliant Actor Andre Holland! WHERE'S THE POPCORN 🍿 ❤
Looking 4ward 2 seeing this masterpiece ✔️💯✝️
I'm happy to see that through this movie they are preserving Huey Newton's legacy. However, the actor whose portraying Huey is not a good fit. I'm sure he's an excellent actor, but he does not remind me of Newton. Roger Guenveur Smith, is the best actor to date to portray Huey Newton. Check out the play "A Huey Newton Story."
Wowza!!!! Can't wait! Did this really happen? I thought I knew Huey's story.
It's Based on a true story but that doesn't mean the movie will be entirely accurate.
Some people are hard to portray when you watch all of Huey interviews you can see he was highly intelligent but very perplexed and complicated person a tough role for the actor to portray Huey that was he actually was
I have the Richard Pryor concert movie in which he has them turn up the house lights and he says " ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce a friend of mine, Huey P. NEWTON!
the first thing i went to after seeing this trialer is the credits, the PA's, gaffers, clothes and set designers, writers to the CO's... the bts better have 70% black people
We know it wont
I’m watching 😁
You would THINK Apple of all companies would make their vids in 4k huh...
i actually prefer the lower definition, old school movie look but i'm old as dirt so...🤷♂
It’s purposefully made that way to match the feeling of the times. It’s called cinematography fam
Everything on Apple TV is 4k
Richard Pryor on point 🤌🏾🤌🏾
Definitely watching this!
I guess I gotta subscribe to 🍎+
Niice
Probably Me And My Family Will Check Out Of This Tv Shows Series, When Arrive On Apple Because, André Holland(I) Actor Producer Writer, Don Cheadle Actor Producer Director, Marc Menchaca Actor Additional Crew Director, And,Alessandro Nivola Actor Producer Soundtrack, We Are Big Fun , All Four Of Them, They Are All Great Actors
George dzudovic. why probably ? just watch it no questions asked.
this looks like it was filmed through an instagram filter
So Argo with black panthers
i think this would have been better if they covered his ENTIRE story........as is - it seems like a fluff piece.
Hmm 💯
Alledgedly Martin Scorcesee was supposed to collab with Spike Lee on a full movie based on the Panthers over 5 years ago but it never came to fruition🤷🏾♂️
@@reefb4364 too bad. wonder what happened?
@@beavis4play Because they have no business collabing together, lol. Spike could take care of it himself. Malcolm Xs bio for example
👏🏿👏🏿🔥🔥💥💥❤️❤️
Apple is QUIETLY building the best streaming platform........
This looks hilarious. I'm In!
It’s based on a true story and if y’all know anything about Newton, it won’t be surprising. But it will be entertaining!
This looks amazing at first then they went off to left field on some other stuff 🤦🏾♂️😂😂
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great but where is severance season 2 trailer
It literally just finished filming. Probably wont be out til 2025
Patience, patience…
Amen! It’s taking WAY too long and I can’t rewatch season 1 because it made me anxious! 😂 I will get anxious again for a new season!
Jokes on you, you're in severance 😂 now grab a token and get yourself some sunflower seeds from the vending machine
LOL! My Aunt and I are wondering the same thing. I'll still watch this.
The movie PANTHER is the ONLY huey newton film
track ?
Kool & The Gang- Hollywood Swingin'
@@versacetaki2774 Thanks!
I wonder who's going to play the "significant" gay role.
Is that Gavin Harris?
So out of everything Huey did , his escape to CUBA is what a film is done on? lol just do a movie about his whole LIFE. Can we get that?
Hollywood verbatim told Huey when he pitched them about a Biopic, that they would never do a movie about his life
Why is there a white savior in the production
Because there were White Saviours .... Revolution doesn't happen without Unity.
Seems like there always is. I was thinking the same thing.
Cause he was there. It is a history based show. Should they erase him or change his skin?
This doesn't have the slightest grit or edge. And this is supposed to be about Huey P. Newton? I don't think so. Absolutely no draw nor appeal. The life of Huey P. Newton should be very interesting. I don't know what this is.
So this movie is the black version of Argo.
Wait a minute, did Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor help Huey get out of the country for real?
No
Argo’s remake by the lack of ideas at Apple?
👏🎬📽
❤❤
*⚡🗽⚡🗼⚡💎 1:49
Brodie don’t even look like Richard Pryor 😂😂😂 talk about subliminal!!!
Terrible actor choice for Huey & this seems like a satire 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
This dude don’t even look like Huey P. Newton. I’m so sick of them taking control over how our heroes are depicted.
....so it's just argo?
So, like argo
😂
Where's Tehran season 3
it was whack
It’s coming
Why does this look terrible? Why is the acting in the commercial terrible? There was intrigue and high stakes in Argo. The conflict seems selfish in this movie.
I keep hearing negative reviews on this and i am not sure why. It was well scripted, black produced and directed. I was in this film and thought nothing but greatness about it. I guess people just enjoy to be negative.
I dont think it's that, its we are tired of holly wood benefiting the most from our ancestors lives!!!! & what does it change for our people, moving forward. Just another one our stories they capitalize on. Do they give some of the proceeds to our communities, NEVER!! Yes we should have all so Called black staff & control of it all, all the finances etc. & that never or rarely is the case! It actually looks like a good movie but Its bigger than that!!
Jesus christ..... horrible. The disrespect.
No comment on the show itself but wow those are some mighty fake looking beards and wigs.
The title is ridiculous. How is it related to the events? He wants to escape to Cuba, so the cigar? Why big? Was it some CIA nickname for a mission to stop him?
🤎🤎🤎
Excellent casting of Huey P. Newton!!!!! I'm watching strictly based off that and how legitimate the story looks, especially if you've ready any books on Huey.
Not at all… this dude doesn’t look or act like Huey.
@@Israel85324 I didn't ask you for your opinion.
Nope..
The life story of Huey P. Newton is one of the most significant series of events in recent history. This movie is a disgrace, and disregards his legacy and contributions to the struggle for Black independence in America. Plz report this video as an act of protest against Apple TV.
I'm a communist and marxist but what is the lie being peddled ? That Huey took help from Hollywood to escape or something else ?
Have you seen it?
People need to stop expecting movies and shows BASED on true stories doesn't mean it will be accurate. Every biopic has the same issues.
Well at least the seed has been planted its up to you as a individual to water it and help it grow. There are many around the world that may have never heard of the man until now. It may inspire the individual to pick up a book and educate themselves on history.
Everybody's a joke...
😂🙄
Meanwhile our black panthers are in jail or dead and now America wants to make a movie with “their” lil twist on it. Over this same theme in film.
This is garbage
Get the Kool aid boys
Representing the struggle✊🏾✌🏾
By a Company that use unethical child labours 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They’re slowly bringing back Black exploitation Films…. 👀😑
this BS is so worthless, whose your black heroes now? denzel? just denzel
Love it, and I hope the awful job the FBI did in protecting white rich America against black community help programmes needed to counter institutional racism is exposed too.
Huey P was just another government/hollywood actor?
❤
Do you think this show is accurate to the truth?
@@MentalStillness IDK, makes you wonder though
Okay, so now, as movie creators are thinking, I should empathize with black racists? No, thanks
Makes you wonder what if the BPP started BLM…That would’ve been interesting.
They didnt
Until the lion learns how to write every story will glorify the hunter. Always a white savior. "Add a few music soundtracks and they'll eat it up!".
Looks looke like more boring Blacksploitation.
Everything Apple TV does looks so generic. If it weren’t for Severence and Travedy of Macbeth, it’d be entirely useless
Give For All Mankind a shot. One of the best space science fiction series of this era.
Good grief this looks terrible, the dude playing huey would've been a better choice as richard pryor.
This is garbage.
government agent/commonist not o hero.
Are u a nordic
This show is an insult.
Why ?
Ya said good times wrong bruh
This is why we need Black American producers who are from the culture and who care about the culture and the history to make these films..
WE NEED TO WIN IN THESE FILMS
The show isn’t even out yet.
Nope should have used a Lightskin Black Man period
This actor looks absolutely nothing like Huey Newton, and his voice does not sound like him either. I notice this a lot with movies based on real life Black people. Plus this entire project looks silly, an excuse for a 70s classic funk/soul soundtrack and afro wigs
This dude looks WAAAY TOO OLD to be playing Huey.
No he doesn’t. He is around Huey’s age when he was killed.
