Biker Boyz
"Biker Boyz" is an action-packed contemporary Western on wheels with desperados who live every day on the edge.
In the world of underground motorcycle clubs, the undefeated racer known as Smoke (Laurence Fishburne) is the undisputed "King of Cali." But Smoke’s dominance of the set is about to be threatened by a young motorcycle racing prodigy called Kid (Derek Luke), who is determined to win Smoke’s helmet and earn the coveted title.
"Biker Boyz" stars Academy Award“ nominee Laurence Fishburne ("What’s Love Got to Do With It") as Smoke, and Derek Luke, who recently won praise for his feature film debut in the title role of "Antwone Fisher," in the role of Kid.
The film also stars Orlando Jones ("Drumline"), Djimon Hounsou ("Gladiator"), Lisa Bonet ("Enemy of the State"), Brendan Fehr ("Final Destination"), Larenz Tate ("Love Jones") and Kid Rock ("Joe Dirt"). The main cast also includes Rick Gonzalez ("The Rookie"), Meagan Good ("Eve’s Bayou"), Salli Richardson-Whitfield ("Antwone Fisher"), Vanessa Bell Calloway ("The Brothers"), Dante Basco ("Extreme Days"), Dion Basco ("Love & Basketball"), Tyson Beckford ("Zoolander") and Titus Welliver (TV’s "That’s Life").
"Biker Boyz" marks the first major studio feature to be directed by Reggie Rock Bythewood, whose film debut, "Dancing in September," was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and premiered on HBO last year. Bythewood, whose credits as a screenwriter include Spike Lee’s "Get On The Bus," also co-wrote the screenplay with Craig Fernandez.
Based on the New Times article of the same name penned by Michael Gougis, "Biker Boyz" is produced by Stephanie Allain, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Erwin Stoff, and 3 Arts Entertainment, with Don Kurt serving as the executive producer.
