Lakeith Stanfield Uses His 'White Voice' In First Sorry To Bother You Trailer

In Sorry to Bother You, telemarketer Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) discovers that all he needs do sort in attempt to be successful at his job is to use his "white voice." The magical discovery propels him to rise up the ranks of his seedy organization to be a "power caller" — however at what cost?


From writer-director Boots Riley and set in an alternate version of Oakland, Sorry to Bother You has been described as a "outlandishly surreal, straight-up WTF movie" by those who were lucky enough to catch it at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where premiered. And it also certainly sounds like the much less you know about the film going in, the better. Just know that it looks weird as hell.


The film also stars a wildly eye catching Tessa Thompson, Terry Crews, Steven Yeun, Omari Hardwick, Jermaine Fowler, Danny Glover, and also a scene-stealing, cocaine-blowing Armie Hammer. Oh, and Cassius's white voice is actually just comedian David Cross dubbing all of the lines.


Sorry to Bother You hits theaters July 6.
