Demi Moore Commands the Screen in New ‘I Love Boosters’ Trailer
Demi Moore and Keke Palmer are drawing attention with the first trailer for I Love Boosters, the new film from writer and director Boots Riley. The movie is set to premiere at the SXSW Film and Television Festival in Austin and will hit theaters on May 22, released by Neon.
The film also stars Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, and Don Cheadle. In the story, Palmer plays Corvette, a bold leader of a group of women who target a wealthy fashion designer, played by Moore. Their plan is to steal clothes from her stores and sell them at lower prices.
The trailer gives a glimpse of the characters’ energy and attitude. Palmer’s Corvette says, “I shop here a lot, and I feel like I should have it all. I just want to take it all home, heat it up and shoot it out my eyes. I just feel like, ‘Give it to me. It’s mine anyway.’” Moore’s character fires back with sharp humor: “They take my shit and sell it because they’re low-class urban bitches — with all due respect to urban bitches.”
