Jessie T. Usher, Regina Hall, Alexandra Shipp & Tim Story On Their Film, "Shaft"

"Shaft" is the next chapter in the film franchise featuring the coolest private eye on any New York City block. JJ, aka John Shaft Jr., may be a cybersecurity expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend's untimely death, he needs an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout JJ's youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem's heroin-infested underbelly. Stars Jessie T. Usher, Regina Hall, Alexandra Shipp and director Tim Story stopped by BUILD to talk about the movie.

That scene of Regina in the bathroom talking to herself kills me😂😂😂

[@LiLJ2159]

That fantastic four comment caught me off guard 😂😂😂

[@Brook11223]

That 4th wall, meta joke with Laurence Fishburne is always a nice running gag.

[@Carmello-ng4hq]

Felix tried it 😂

Funny movie cool cast

[@candicewatts9810]

Sasha needs more acting lessons! Really brought the film down for me.

[@amcra1]

Regina seems like a miscast. I love her but it’s not believeable that she’s Jessie T Usher’s mother. The obvious choice should’ve been Nia Long.

[@adriennem842]

no the obvious choice would be to cast someone closer to Sam's age and not someone that's 20 plus years younger

[@amcra1]

A M I personally don’t wanna see anybody closer to his age. That’s stupid. Regina isn’t believable as JJ’s mother due to her age and the fact that she never really pulls off the mother role. Nia or Regina King would have been the better choice. Even though they’re all around the same age, Noa and Regina bring a certain maturity.

[@adriennem842]

That's because I don't think she has ever been cast as one and also she and Nia are the same age

[@amcra1]

A M she was a mom in The Hate You Give.

[@dec1slh]

@@adriennem842 ummm it's more realistic for a man like shaft to have someone 20 or more years younger. No one wants to see an old woman for that role.
