Boots Riley on New Series Im a Virgo About a 13 Foot Tall Man in Oakland
In 2020, Prime Video picked up Im a Virgo, a new, absurdist, fantastical ride and satirical series from Sorry to Bother You director, Boots Riley. Starring Emmy Awardwinner Jharrel Jerome (When They See Us) as a 13foottall man living in Oakland, California, the 7episode series details are still being kept close to Rileys chest. He isnt imparting too much of the plot, but he does share with us some of what has gone into the making of the show. While at the Sundance Film Festival, Boots Riley visited the Collider Studio presented by Saratoga Spring Water in Park City, and spoke with EditorinChief, Steve Weintraub, about Im a Virgo ahead of its world premiere at South by Southwest. He kept the series explanation vague, but was forthcoming about the amazing talent attached to the project, particularly with Jeromes performance. In addition to the Moonlight star, Im a Virgo will feature an ensemble cast that includes Mike Epps, Carmen Ejogo, Walton Goggins, Kara Young, Brett Gray, and more.
