“Don’t be afraid… I’m with the US government. We have some things to discuss.” Lionsgate has revealed an official teaser trailer for a movie called Killing Castro, a thriller based on a true story from the 1960s. This is being sent to theaters and VOD right away starting in December just before the year’s over. In 1960, Fidel Castro comes to America to speak at the United Nations. However, he is invited by Malcolm X to stay in Harlem at the famous Hotel Theresa. Unsure of his intentions, the FBI, CIA and the Mafia, all attempt to eliminate him by any means necessary. (Alas – he died much later in 2016.) After arriving in town, Castro unexpectedly relocates to Harlem’s Hotel Theresa at the invitation of Malcolm X, a CIA operative, a young translator, and a hotel worker all become embroiled in a covert plot against Castro to turn this tightening web of political tension and surveillance into a defining moment in history. Starring Diego Boneta, Xolo Maridueña, KiKi Layne,
