Over the years, fans have come to love Brian Tyree Henry for his roles in Atlanta, Widows and Boardwalk Empire. This spring, he’s stepping into a new role as the leade in The Outside Story. Tackling his first leading role in a film, Henry portrays Charles Young, a heartbroken videographer looking to get his girlfriend back.
“Brian Tyree Henry takes on his first big-screen lead role as Charles Young, a broken-hearted video editor. Perceiving a betrayal of trust as a sign his girlfriend Isha is leaving him, Charles preemptively blows up his relationship and sequesters himself at home,” the synopsis reads.
“The fates do not comply and Charles locks himself out of his apartment. Stumbling into a transformational, timely odyssey exploring his community, Charles meets a dynamic ensemble of previously avoided neighbors who show him everyone’s got issues and it never helps to keep them all locked up.”
While Henry prepares for the release of The Outside Story, he’ll also gear up to film seasons three and four of Atlanta. Recent reports indicate that Donald Glover and company are preparing to head over to London later this month. The cast and crew will then turn their sights to Paris and Amsterdam in April. However, there is no set date for the show’s return to FX.
The Outside Story does have a release date though. Check out the trailer below before the entire film arrives on April 30.
