Snoop Dogg and David Arquette will star in the upcoming comedy Domino: Battle of the Bones which is scheduled to hit theaters on June 11. The film will be the directorial debut of former NBA player Barron Davis and follows a Black grandfather and his awkward White step-grandson competing for a dominos world championship title and a $10,000 grand prize.
The rapper will play Professor Dominologist, a bones expert. Davis also stars in the film as well which also features Ha Ha Davis, Lou Beatty Jr., Tasie Lawrence and the late Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister, who died in December.
“Growing up, dominos was a way of life and a way of culture. Not only is it just a game — it’s a recipe for human connection and human communication. If you’ve sat down with a stranger to play dominos, you’ve met a friend,” Davis said of the basis of the film to Variety.
