Exclusive: Mike Colter Talks Deon Taylor’s Fatale And Possible Luke Cage Return
Hitting On Demand this week is Deon Taylor’s upcoming psychological thriller Fatale, starring two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank, Michael Ealy, Mike Colter, Tyrin Turner, Sam Daly, Geoffrey Owens and Damaris Lewis.
Fatale centers on married man Derrick Tyler (Ealy) who finds himself living a nightmare as he is relentlessly compromised, out-witted and morally manipulated by Val Quinlan (Swank), a female detective with whom he had a wild one-night stand. How far will he go to save his marriage from his mistake?
Written and produced by David Loughery (The Intruder, Lakeview Terrace, Obsessed), the film is produced by Taylor’s Hidden Empire Film Group partner Roxanne Taylor and is executive produced by partner Robert F. Smith. Time-time Oscar nominee Dante Spinotti (L.A. Confidential, Heat) served as DP, marking his third collaboration with Taylor on Fatale.
For Colter, who’s best known for his starring as the title character Luke Cage in the Netflix series and currently stars in the CBS drama series Evil, this is his second time working with Deon Taylor. Cage also appeared in the cop thriller Black and Blue, which starred Naomi Harris and Tyrese Gibson.
In speaking with BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales, Colter talks about working with Deon Taylor and whether or not he would reprise his role as Luke Cage on the big screen.
