1992Directed by Ariel Vromen, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sascha Penn, it is set in the backdrop of the 1992 Los Angeles riots sparked by the Rodney King verdict. The trailer opens with a clueless Mercer (Tyrese) trying to rebuild his relationship with his son (Christopher Emanuel), an effort that is jeopardized when another father-son duo, played by Liotta and Eastwood, plot a robbery at the factory where Mercer works. The men kidnap Mercer’s son and things go awry as tensions rise in Los Angeles.
are saying about 1992Snoop Dogg said in a statement The Hollywood Reporter“1992 was a life-changing time for me, from ‘Deep Cover’ to ‘The Chronic.’ But as things were coming together in my life, everything was falling apart in L.A. 1992 is a heist movie that really captures all of that. This movie is about a moment in L.A. Ariel made a great movie that captures this moment in time. From my first meeting with Tyrese Child For the screening in 1992, I had to be a part of it. And it’s only fitting that this film comes under Death Row Pictures because Death Row is synonymous with LA culture in the 90s, see?”
Expressing his gratitude for working with Liotta, Gibson stated The Hollywood Reporter“Ray Liotta blessed all of us in life by doing this movie. 1992 This being Ray’s final offering, we all feel extremely blessed to have witnessed such a masterful and heart-wrenching performance.”
