The Trailer for The New Edition Biopic is Everything 

2017 is soon approaching and we know one thing we’re very excited about–The New Edition Biopic. 

The trailer for the upcoming production premiered during the 16th annual BET Awards based on what we’ve seen, we will be very very happy.

Not only will the soundtrack be amazing (!!) but the casting is pretty spot on too. 

Empire’s Bryshere Y. Gray will play Michael Bivins; The Wiz Live! star Elijah Kelley is Ricky Bell; singer-songwriter Luke James is Johnny Gill; Algee Smith is Ralph Tresvant; Keith Powers is Ronnie Devoe, and Woody McClain plays Bobby Brown.

Following the release of the trailer, Twitter signed off on in full agreement that this movie is one none of us will want to miss.
