A stark, soulful tale of crime and redemption starring Omar Epps, Wiz Khalifa, Quavo, and Chukwudi Iwuji
Fathom Entertainment, in collaboration with Simeon Faith, the Nick Mirkopoulos Cinematic Fund, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, announced today it will release “Moses the Black,” a Simeon Entertainment, G-Unit Film and Television, Taylor Gang Films and BrooklynWorks Films production, nationwide on January 30, 2026.
“Moses the Black” follows a Chicago gangster’s journey of reckoning, inspired by the true story of the fourth-century saint of the same name. Omar Epps (“Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” “Juice,” “House”) stars as Chicago gang leader Malik, with multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY and Golden Globe nominated recording artist Wiz Khalifa (“Spinning Gold,” “Furious 7” soundtrack) as 2wo-3ree, the confident and volatile head of Malik’s young crew, locked in a power struggle for control against rival gang leader Straw, played by multi-platinum and GRAMMY-nominated recording artist Quavo (“Atlanta,” “Black-ish”). The role of St. Moses the Black is portrayed by Chukwudi Iwuji (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Peacemaker”) with direction by Yelena Popovic (“Man of God”).
A gripping fusion of suspense, moral courage, and modern relevance, “Moses the Black” is driven by a hypnotic original soundtrack executive-produced by Wiz Khalifa featuring Quavo, and other collaborators. With its emotional depth and standout performances, the film has already sparked excitement and anticipation among fans and influencers nationwide.
“This film is about redemption and real change. It’s raw, it’s emotional, and it’s powerful. I can’t wait for audiences to see it,” said Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
“’Moses the Black’ is an action-packed drama that was made to be seen on the big screen. Fathom Entertainment is thrilled to partner again with Simeon Entertainment and bring this heart-pounding story with a star-studded cast to audiences nationwide,” said Ray Nutt, Chief Executive Officer for Fathom Entertainment.
Fathom Entertainment first collaborated with Simeon Entertainment in 2022 for the award-winning film, “Man of God.”
