New film '1992' set during the Rodney King Riots in Los Angeles | What to Watch

It's 640 period time. Now to take a look at what to watch, what to watch is a new film that enters theaters this weekend takes place during a real challenging moment in California history. The movie is 1992 and will be led by singer and actor Tyrese Gibson, A ABC Ten's Mark S Allen got to sit down with Tyrese and is here with more about the film and some new music. Yeah, absolutely. I have the pleasure of knowing Tyrese socially and professionally for the last 20 years. Plus he used to play his music, the radio. He collaborated with the local guy Deon Taylor. So he spent a lot of time in Sacramento. I've never seen him quite as tired and deep as he was. Well, talking about this movie and his new album, his double album, he's been working on 24 hours a day releases Friday. As does this movie set in 1992 during the Rodney King riots, deep dark time for American history. Also said in that it's the final performance to be released of the late Ray Liotta. We talked about all that. Take a look how you holding up, man. Listen. Uh it's been, it's been interesting. I'm feeling some pressure that I have not felt for any movie I've ever released. Ray Liotta no longer being with us. The duality between me and my son in the film versus Scott Eastwood and Ray Liotta and Dylan. If you think you're about to watch a documentary, that's, this is not it, this is a heist movie. It's a thriller, it's uncomfortable and if you don't eat through all of your popcorn, I've missed Mark. Like you said, there's some cringy moments that are gonna break open discussions, that problems we should have solved in 1992. Maybe we can solve them. Now, if this conversation is not too late, never too late, I gotta show you what a difference a decade makes. I uh in all that's going on in the world right now. I just recovered a video, Sean Edwards who was in here, friend of ours. He and I walk into a rooftop bar in Moscow 10 years ago. We're the only Americans in there. We look around and you jumped up on the turntable and said it's a Tyrese moment. You, you broke the ice. Yeah, I remember that. I think. Thank you for all the times. I've sat toe to toe with Ray Leotta many times. Never had a chance to tell him. Thank you for all the times. So right now in the fleeting moments of this interview, I wanna tell you. Thank you for all the times. How much? Thank you. I love your heart, man with all you got right now. Tell people see 1992 because there might be a moment or two or maybe five that's gonna activate the sensitivities in you about other people experiences. You should never be the type of person that say this is where I live. This is how safe we are. This is what we have. This is what I live in. This is what I eat and lose touch with the sensitivities of what other people experience. Absolutely. You can feel it. 1992 opens Friday, the late Ray Liotta's final movie. Also Scott Eastwood who I think is a g litteral clone of his dad, Clint Eastwood also in this movie. Uh it plays like an action film, but you are gonna go home with the message and many conversations to be had and beautiful pain. His double album, he comes out Fridays too. He has won many Grammy awards with David Foster. This is produced by him as well. That last interview piece with him saying we should understand how other people live and how they were raised and all that that applies to politics. That is as encompassing a sound pop as I've heard in a long time, a good time for us all to live by that sound. Yeah, it, it appreciate what other people have gone through to get to where they are Now that was good mark. Thank you.
