The original teen hip-hop comedy was released in 1990 and was director Reginald Hudlin’s first feature-length film. However, comic book fans may also know Hudlin for his time as a writer for the Black Panther comics from 2005 to 2008, which includes the acclaimed “Bride of the Panther” storyline which saw Storm from the X-Men marry the King of Wakanda.

This time around though, the film will be directed by CALMATIC (Charles Kidd II), a filmmaker known for his work on music videos and commercials. He garnered recognition in 2019 for directing the video for “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which went on to win the 2019 MTV Video Music Award for Best Direction and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Music Video of the Year.

I'm a self-proclaimed "professional dork." I've always been drawn to the creative and imaginative worlds found in comic books, video games, and other forms of entertainment, and I believe that these stories and characters have the power to inspire and bring people together. Through Dorkaholics, I've had the opportunity to attend conventions, interview some of my favorite artists and creators, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for all things dorky. When I'm not writing about the latest pop culture trends, you can usually find me playing video games, reading comic books, or exploring new fandoms. I'm thrilled to be able to share my love of pop culture with the world through Dorkaholics, and I hope to continue to inspire and entertain fellow dorks for years to come.
