“I’m not proud of all the choices I’ve made. Was I prepared to risk everything?” Republic Pictures debuted the first full trailer for Rob Peace, an indie drama that is also the second feature film directed by English actor Chiwetel Ejiofor (following The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind). This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to mostly positive reviews, though not really a ton of buzz. Directed, adapted by, and starring Oscar nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (as his father), Rob Peace follows the true story of a brilliant young man named Robert Peace, torn between his father’s shadowed past and his own promising future.

He ends getting into and studying chemical engineering at Yale, in the top of his class, while also leading a double life selling especially potent marijuana to make extra money to hire lawyers for his father. Jay Will stars as Rob, with the cast including Ejiofor, Mary J. Blige, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Michael Kelly, Mare Winningham, and Camila Cabello.
