The concept of switching bodies is hardly a new concept, but it won’t stop Hollywood from making more movies about it. Regina Hall and Marsai Martin star in “Little”, both as the same character at different ages, in a “Suddenly 30”-esque film where Jordan wakes up as a 13-year old on the day of a big presentation at work.
The trailer is above, and the film hits cinemas April 12.
“Girls Trip’s” Regina Hall and “Black-ish’s” Marsai Martin both star as Jordan Sanders — Hall as the take-no-prisoners tech mogul adult version of Jordan and Martin as the 13-year-old version of her who wakes up in her adult self’s penthouse just before a do-or-die presentation.
Insecure’s Issa Rae plays Jordan’s long-suffering assistant April, the only one in on the secret that her daily tormentor is now trapped in an awkward tween body just as everything is on the line. “Little” is an irreverent new comedy about the price of success, the power of sisterhood and having a second chance to grow up — and glow up — right.
Will Packer, blockbuster producer of “Girls Trip”, the “Ride Along” franchise, and ten movies that have opened No. 1 at the U.S. box office, including “Night School”, “No Good Deed” and “Think Like a Man”, brings an all-new perspective to the body-swap comedy.
“Little” is directed by Tina Gordon (writer, “Drumline”) with a story by Tracy Oliver (“Girls Trip”) and a screenplay by Oliver and Gordon, based on an idea by teen actress Martin. The film is produced by Packer and his producing partner James Lopez and by Kenya Barris (“Girls Trip”, “Black-ish”), and is executive produced by Preston Holmes (Night School), Hall, Marsai Martin and Josh Martin.
