Oscar Hopeful ‘The Inspection’ Sells To The UK For A24
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Signature Entertainment has made one of its highest-profile acquisitions to date with UK & Irish rights to Elegance Bratton’s well-received military drama The Inspection from A24.
Inspired by Bratton’s own story, the TIFF, New York and LFF title follows a young, gay, Black man, rejected by his mother and with few options for his future, who decides to join the Marines, doing whatever it takes to succeed in an unforgiving system.

Brown (Dear White People) and Chester Algernal Gordon (Port Authority), the film stars Jeremy Pope (One Night in Miami), Bokeem Woodbine (Halo), Gabrielle Union (Bring It On), Raúl Castillo (Wrath of Man), McCaul Lombardi (American Honey), Aaron Dominguez, Nicholas Logan, Eman Esfandi, Andrew Kai and Aubrey Joseph.
