THAT'S IT! That's the whole damn clip! It then cuts to an A24 logo (which you have probably realized I have a major hard-on for at this point), and we're left wondering what the fuck we just saw. Well, I did a little more digging, and found Exhibit B to be this radical goddamn poster:
A24
Look, it can't be worse than the last time we had a rapper leaning against a motorcycle on the poster.
So now we know two things: 1) It's called Slice, and 2) Chance the Rapper plays a motorcycle delivery person. We also know that it's directed by Chance's music video collaborator Austin Vesely, was shot in Chicago, and features How Did This Get Made's Paul Scheer. That's all awesome, but so far it's not quite enough to wag your tits at -- but we're also not done by a long shot. It turns out that back in 2015, Vesely gave an interview about the early concept for a movie based on a George Saunders novella. In that interview, he described a character named Dax Lycander, a Chinese food deliveryman who lives in an alternate universe where "supernatural elements" are "accepted as reality." Such elements include things like ghosts who are "basically part of the fabric of the government" and melonfucking werewolves. Chance the Rapper was named to be playing Dax -- who, by the way, is a werewolf himself.
Oh, and somehow the weirdest part of all: The director described it as a "plot-driven" story inspired by Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia, only "goofier." What the goddamn hell is this movie, guys. It has werewolves and ghosts, but is also story-focused and silly. Is this a Harry Potter spinoff? Why are we getting so little information about it? How is the world not talking exclusively about this? I don't care what terrible news is happening in the world when you read this, if #ChanceTheMysteryWerewolf isn't trending on Twitter, then I've lost all faith in this country.
If you're Chance the Rapper or Paul Scheer, please tell David what the hell this movie is about on his Twitter.
