There’s absolutely nothing glamorous about Jennifer Hudson‘s latest role in the gritty new drama The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete, also starring Jordin Sparks, Anthony Mackie and Jeffrey Wright.
The George Tillman Jr.-directed film follows two inner city youths– played by Skylan Brooks and Ethan Dizon– as they navigate the dangerous streets of the Brooklyn projects over the course of a summer. Hudson portrays a troubled mother struggling with a nasty drug addiction who gets popped for prostitution, forcing her son to fend for himself.
Defeat of Mister and Pete, executive produced by Alicia Keys, made its debut at Sundance on Jan. 17 in Park City, Utah. Check out a clip of the film below!
