Tribeca: the red carpet gets interesting
Winter Miller writes that David Mamet's "Redbelt" will preem at the fest, which finallly gives journalists a reason to put Mamet, mixed martial arts, and Tim Allen in the same sentence.The pic stars Chiwetel Ejiofor (pictured) as a Jujitsu teacher in Los Angeles who runs his training studio by the samurai code until greed and corruption threaten his survival.
Ejiofor is joined by thesps Emily Mortimer, Alice Braga and Tim Allen.
"I am a fan of both the fight film and the samurai film," Mamet said. "'Redbelt' is my homage to both."
Here's the trailer:
