Magic Mike was great for many reasons, one being that it finally acknowledged that women like to go to the movies and shamelessly lust after who’s onscreen, too. (Thank you, again!) But it wasn’t perfect, and had a severe lack of black male strippers working the pole. Luckily, we now have the trailer for Chocolate City, Jean-Claude La Marre’s very necessary “black version” of Magic Mike. It stars Robert Ri’chard as a guy struggling to make ends meet with his mom (Vivica A. Fox), who does what anyone desperate for some fast cash would do: sign up for amateur night! Michael Jai White recruits him for his strip club (DJ-ed by Carmen Electra, sure), and it’s there that “Sexy Chocolate” is born. Tyson Beckford’s abs are also involved, and so is a Ginuwine cameo! Your move, Magic Mike XXL.
