"I'm just gunna assume you're all criminals." Annapurna has debuted the first quick TV spot for Kathryn Bigelow's next film titled Detroit, about the Detroit Riots in 1967. The film features an ensemble cast of characters to tell the story of why so many citizens decided to rise up, and how the riot expanded so quickly to become so massive that the President had to send in federal troops to get things under control. The huge ensemble cast includes John Boyega, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, Ben O'Toole, Hannah Murray, Anthony Mackie, Jacob Latimore, Algee Smith, Joseph David-Jones, Kaitlyn Dever, Jason Mitchell, John Krasinski, Jeremy Strong, and Laz Alonso. This is a nice follow-up to the first trailer, I just hope they show more footage soon that impresses, as this isn't doing much for me so far. Take a look.

Here's the first official TV spot for Kathryn Bigelow's Detroit, direct from Annapurna's YouTube:

You can still see the first official trailer + poster for Bigelow's Detroit here, for more footage from this.
