"You ready for this?"

Calum Worthy stars as Adam, with a cast including Anthony Michael Hall, Debra Wilson, Ryan Ochoa, Daffany McGaray Clark, Charlamagne tha God, Loaded Lux, Dizaster, Dumbfoundead, and Hollow Da Don.

Here's the new red band trailer (+ official posters) for Joseph Kahn's Bodied, direct...
