Tyrese Gibson as Mercer in a beanie and jacket in 1992.
The Big Picture Lionsgate is taking viewers back to 1992 with the official trailer for its tense new action thriller starring Fast & Furious veteran Tyrese Gibson. The long-gestating film, which has been in development stemming back to 2015 and previously held the titles Clash and April 29, 1992, takes place amid the L.A. Riots when two stories converge during the social unrest.
The trailer depicts the tension rising within the country as the infamous Rodney King trial nears its verdict. Mercer is just trying to stay out of trouble and keep his son Antoine safe amid the chaos, even planning on bringing him to his workplace for the time being. At the same time, however, another man named Lowell and his son Riggin Bigby , along with their crew, start eyeing Mercer's factory where millions of dollars in catalytic converters are ripe for the taking.
1992 marks a reunion for Liotta and director Ariel Vromen, who previously worked together on the starry 2012 crime drama The Iceman. It also marks a bittersweet final tour on-screen for the Goodfellas star following his tragic death in 2022. Gibson, for his part, was proud to be one of Liotta's last scene partners, saying of the actor, “Ray Liotta blessed all of us in life while doing this film.
'1992' Has a New Superstar Producer on Board Helping the film finally see the light of day is none other than Snoop Dogg, who recently boarded the project as an executive producer through his Death Row Pictures banner. The rapper has some experience with Gibson, previously starring opposite him in 2001's Baby Boy, but he was also excited to join the team because of how the film offers a unique depiction of one of the most pivotal moments in L.A.'s history.
"1992 was a life-changing time for me, from Deep Cover to The Chronic . But as things in my life were coming together, everything in L.A. was coming apart. 1992 is a heist movie that really captures all of that. This movie is about an L.A. moment. Ariel made an outstanding film that depicts this moment in time. From my first encounter with Tyrese in Baby Boy to the performance in 1992 , I had to be a part of this.
