The 8 stars we're psyched to see in 'Chi-raq'


Amazon dropped the trailer for Spike Lee's Chi-raq yesterday and we've watched it 'bout fifty 'leven times since then, because it is EPIC.

Not only will we be at the theater with our organic truffle popcorn on Dec. 4, we may even be wearing a Nick Cannon T-shirt, 'cause it looks like he's laying down one helluva performance.

He's just one of the talented cast who look like they kill it in the film about gun violence in Chicago. Here's who else is on our radar.

Teyonah Parris 

She's the queen in charge of carrying this film and we're getting all kinds of chills just from seeing her in the trailer. Mad Men who?

Samuel L. Jackson

He's never not working and we love it.

Angela Bassett

Yassssss, muva.

John Cusack 

This guy.

Wesley Snipes 

Lee + Snipes = A good time

Jennifer Hudson

Further proof that losing on American Idol is everything.

Dave Chappelle 

Because, Dave Chappelle. Duh.
