Chance the Rapper is starring in an upcoming movie, Slice, which is due out next year from A24—distributors of recent indie favorites like The Lobster, Green Room, and The Witch. This afternoon, he released the first teaser of the film on his Twitter. Watch it below.
Chance also mentioned the film’s director Austin Vesely in the post, a fellow Chicagoan and frequent collaborator who’s directed many of his videos. According to a July 2015 interview with Vesely in Red Eye Chicago, the film is a “murder mystery.” Chance plays a werewolf named Dax Lycander, which we can all admit is a pretty great name for a werewolf.
The twenty-second clip shows Chance from the back, putting on a helmet and riding away on a motorcycle. Presumably, more details about the feature-length film will be coming soon.
