US actor Delroy Lindo, recently seen in Ryan Coogler’s box office success Sinners as tragic character Delta Slim is set to make his directorial debut with an unnamed feature film project set in Jamaica. Along with director, he is set to star in and produce the film as well.
While the film’s official plot remains under wraps, it is reportedly set in a Jamaican community, surrounding themes of power, spirituality, and the healing power of community.
In an interview with Deadline, Lindo shares that the story follows a young man who after losing his mother, gets sent to Jamaica, and after some resistance, is embraced by his maternal community and begins his healing journey.
Magical realism and Caribbean spirituality plays a strong role in the story, described by Lindo as on some level a coming-of-age story.
The film is on schedule to be released in 2027.
