And we had Jon Favreau come in and do a couple of versions of Happy Hogan and it was a blast. He’s amazing and really went for it. I asked for some wacky stuff in our 1602-inspired episode and he delivered in a big way—so much fun.”

Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings (Snoop Dogg) is a washed-up ex-professional football star who has hit rock bottom.

When Jaycen is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California, he sees it as an opportunity to rebuild his public image and turn his life around.

As Jaycen works to transform the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into top-notch champions, he reconnects with his past, including an old flame and few of his ex-teammates and rediscovers his love of the game.

Paramount+ announced that the new feature-length documentary THE CHOICE IS YOURS will premiere exclusively on the service Tuesday, November 21 in the U.S. and Canada, and on Wednesday, November 22 in the U.K., Australia, Latin America, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS, directed and edited by Clark Slater (DMX: Don’t Try And Understand), is the story of rapper and artist Andres “Dres” Vargas-Titus, part of the legendary 90’s hip hop duo Black Sheep, and his incredible journey from being on top of the game to struggling with civilian life and staring down the barrel of his last chance at success.

Along the way he meets Maureen Yancey, aka Ma Dukes, mother to music icon J.Dilla who gifts him with a hard drive of unreleased Dilla beats and tasks him with creating the next great Dilla record. As Dres attempts to uncover the mystery behind his story, which hasn’t been told in full until now, Dres meets with artists, celebs, music executives and journalists to better understand who Dilla was, only to discover that not everyone is happy about Dres being gifted these beats.

The accompanying controversy threatens not just the release of the album, but Dres’ very legacy.

“Hip-Hop gives us the opportunity to blow up. It also gives us the opportunity to implode,” said Dres. “As we strive to live up to our character, in the mirror we see the champion and challenger knowing the choice is yours.”

THE CHOICE IS YOURS is produced by Versus and MTV Entertainment. The film is executive produced by Mark Grande, Justin Barnes, Rob Meyers, Bruce Gillmer, and Amanda Culkowski, produced by Tom Colabraro, and with an original score composed by artist and producer Erick The Architect.

In November, Lawmen: Bass Reeves joins the elite collection of Paramount+ Original Series set in the Wild West. Created for television by executive producer, writer and showrunner Chad Feehan and executive produced by Taylor Sheridan and series lead David Oyelowo, the show tells the gripping story of U.S. Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves (Oyelowo), famed for apprehending more than 3,000 outlaws during his time. We sat down with Feehan to get his insights into the creation of the series.

• Not enough Americans know about Bass Reeves, the first Black U.S. deputy marshal west of the Mississippi; what attracted you to telling this story?

I was attracted by the triumph of his spirit. Bass Reeves was a real-life superhero, who overcame unimaginable circumstances and dedicated his life to justice and equality in a lawless region of American history. I’m honored and humbled to be a part of the team that celebrates Bass’ legacy.

• Expanding on that, can you talk about how important it was to authentically depict the diversity of Texas during this time period?

Our series begins with enslavement and carries through Reconstruction to the first cruel whispers of Jim Crow. During this time, Texas, the Indian Territory and Arkansas were home to multiple cultures, races and creeds. Not only was it important to depict that as authentically as possible, but more so, we wanted to explore the universality of the human condition and the emotionality that connects all of us.

• What was it like to collaborate with David Oyelowo as you developed the series and the title character?

In my opinion, television writing is a team sport. Not only does that include a wide array of voices in the writers’ room, but it also extends to historians, researchers and various experts. Our series was incredibly fortunate to rely on the likes of David as well as Sidney Thompson, Mo Brings Plenty and many others, who shepherded us into recreating an authentic picture of the American West.

• Without giving any spoilers, what are you most excited for audiences to see?

I’m excited for our audiences to see a portrayal of Bass Reeves – the lawman, the husband and the father – as well as experience a story that’s thrilling, heroic and emotionally complex.

No one is above the law when Lawmen: Bass Reeves premieres on November 5

Jeremiah O’Keefe (Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones) is a pillar of his community. A decorated World War II veteran and former two-term mayor of his hometown of Biloxi, Mississippi, he and his wife Annette (Pamela Reed) have raised their family while running a funeral home and burial insurance business. When Jeremiah runs into financial trouble, he worries about destroying his legacy and his beloved business, which had been in his family for over a century.

To avoid bankruptcy, he agrees to sell three of his eight funeral homes to The Loewen Group, a multi-national funeral home conglomerate run by Ray Loewen (Bill Camp). However, months after the paperwork is drawn, the deal still isn’t fully executed. Realizing that Loewen is stalling for time, Jeremiah decides to sue and hires Willie E. Gary.

Willie E. Gary (Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx) is a personal injury attorney and real showman. He knows his way around a courtroom and can play to any judge or jury. With his wife Gloria (Amanda Warren) by his side, he’s worked his way up from poverty to become one of the most successful and wealthy attorneys in the country.

Initially, Willie has no intention of taking on a contract law dispute. Then Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie), a young Black attorney on Jeremiah’s team and a college friend of his son, convinces Willie that their case has the potential of being extremely lucrative and could result in a groundbreaking victory that would catapult his career to even greater heights.

Willie wastes no time, demanding no less than a $100 million from Loewen, a seemingly outrageous sum that draws jeers from Loewen’s lawyers. But Loewen isn’t laughing. Instead, he hires a prominent attorney by the name of Mame Downes (Jurnee Smollett). The legal battle takes surprising turns that raise the stakes even higher, but outside of the courtroom, Jerry and Willie find common ground and a mutual respect that makes the outcome of the trial about more than money.

Inspired by true events, The Burial is based on The New Yorker article of the same name by Jonathan Harr, with a screenplay co-written by Doug Wright and Maggie Betts, who also directs, starring Tommy Lee Jones, Jamie Foxx, Jurnee Smollett, Mamoudou Athie, Pamela Reed, with Bill Camp and Alan Ruck. Producers are Celine Rattray, p.g.a., Trudie Styler, p.g.a., Jamie Foxx, p.g.a., Datari Turner, p.g.a., Jenette Kahn, p.g.a., Adam Richman, p.g.a., Bobby Shriver, p.g.a..

The team behind the camera includes casting by Kim Coleman, CSA, music supervisor Liza Richardson, music by Michael Abels, edited by Lee Percy, ACE, Jay Cassidy, ACE, production designer Kay Lee, director of photography Maryse Alberti.

Amazon MGM Studios presents, a Double Nickel Entertainment, Bobby Shriver Productions, Foxxhole Productions, and Maven Screen Media Production, The Burial, in select theaters October 6 and streaming globally on Prime Video October 13.
