EXCLUSIVE: BET+ has set an action thriller movie about a deadly dinner party starring Natasha Marc (Mayor of Kingstown) and Robert Ri’chard (Coach Carter).

RSVP follows Tesha Colman (Marc), an aspiring author who attends what seems to be an elegant dinner party hosted by the enigmatic Maurice Wright (Ri’chard). The evening takes a dark turn when Tesha and the other guests discover Maurice’s vengeful motives. Trapped in a perilous situation, Tesha must rely on her street smarts and martial arts skills to navigate the treacherous environment.

The movie will launch on the Black Entertainment Television network later this month and is written and directed by Thomas Walton, whose Lux Angeles Studios has made the pic with Movies by Misfits, Safier Entertainment and PhilaDreams Films.

Walton said: “Collaborating with the BET Plus team to release RSVP has been a pleasure. We’ve crafted an intense, thoroughly entertaining experience, and we’re excited for movie enthusiasts to come together to enjoy the action and twists we’ve brought to life.”

Natasha Marc, who played Cherry in Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown, is leading opposite Ri’chard, whose past credits include Coach Carter and House of Wax. Jhone Y. Lucas and Phrederic Semaj are co-starring.

The movie is co-written by Quinn Early. EPs are Justin Safier, Dale Resteghini, Jeremy Hirsch, Mark G. Chapman, Marvin Neil and Lorisa Bates. Walton is producing with Damien Douglas, Matthew Macur, Jared Safier and Lenny Vitulli.
