Guy Miller is the name of Quavo’s character, who’s described as “a recent parolee who’s attempting to rehabilitate his life, when circumstances propel him back into Atlanta’s thriving and dangerous takeover scene. He must live up to his reputation as one of the slipperiest street operators in a lethal, head-long race against time.”
Combining live-action performances with animation, the movie will look at the fascination with sideshows and stunts in car culture that see drivers take over streets and parking lots with tricks. Quality Control Music’s production arm, Quality Films, is producing the film alongside Trioscope.
Quavo released a statement alongside the announcement on Wednesday (April 27), revealing his excitement about the movie taking place where he grew up.
