Revenge of the Nerds meets Boyz N the Hood in the first trailer for Dope. This comedic hood thriller mash-up is set to make it's World Premiere in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Giving it a leg above the competition are appearances by rapper A$AP Rocky and Workaholics star Blake Anderson.

In Dope, Malcolm is an anomaly, a "geek living in the Bottoms," the drug-infested, gang-run ghetto part of Inglewood. A victim of circumstance, but with admirable ambition, Malcolm gets caught in the crossfires of a drug buy gone bad. Using his wits and considerable smarts, he manages to take a dicey situation and make it work in his favor.

Dope features an amazing ensemble of stars including Shameik Moore (Cartoon Network's Incredible Crew), Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Kiersey Clemons (Amazon's Transparent, MTV's Eye Candy), Kimberly Elise (VH1's Hit the Floor, For Colored Girls), Keith Stanfield (Selma, Short Term 12), Blake Anderson (Comedy Central's Workaholics), Zoë Kravitz (X-Men: First Class, Divergent trilogy), Chanel Iman and A$AP Rocky. Forest Whitaker and Nina Yang Bongiovi serve as producers, with Pharrell Williams providing original music. Check out the first footage from what may be the next great coming-of-age classic:
