Andrea Iervolino, who's producing with Vince Jolivette and Davis, has revealed what to expect from the movie. " 'Future World' is a mesmerizing story with the kind of boundary-pushing creativity unique to James," Iervolino said in a statement. "When you have the combined talents and gravitas of Milla, Lucy, Method Man, Suki, Snoop, and James interwoven through a wild story - what unfolds on screen is unreal. This is going to be a fun project that plays universally."
