[Udated with fresh trailers]

It aint just America making throwbacks to the blaxploitation era right now, a point well made by French effort Black, a more modern spin on the genre that we've been covering here for quite some time. Starring French musician MC Jean Gab'1 - also featured prominently in Banlieue 13 Ultimatum - as a Senegalese-French thief travelling to Africa for a heist where he'll not only have to deal with local law enforcement but also Russian mercenaries and a flamboyant arms dealer who seems to be slowly turning into a snake, Black had its premiere at SXSW earlier this year. And with the French release right around the corner - July 15th in France for those keeping track, August for Canada - the PR train is rolling full speed. The first proper French teaser was released in mid-June and has since been followed by a second teaser and - just now - a full theatrical trailer.. You'll find them all along with the earlier sales trailer - English subtitled, no less - below the break.
