BLACK OR WHITE is the story of a grandfather (Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner) who is suddenly left to care for his beloved granddaughter. When her paternal grandmother (Academy Award® winner Octavia Spencer) seeks custody with the help of her brother (Anthony Mackie), the little girl is torn between two families who love her deeply. With the best intentions at heart, both families fight for what they feel is right and are soon forced to confront their true feelings about race, forgiveness, and understanding. Anchored by an all-star cast and based on real events, the movie is a look at two seemingly different worlds, in which nothing is as simple as black or white.

We Are Movie Geeks was at the screening and took these photos of Costner as he made his way down the red carpet at the Ronnies Cinema in South County. There he was interviewed by the local TV stations before stopping to saying hello and shake hands with We Are Movie Geeks. St. Louis baseball Cardinals legend Ozzie Smith was on hand and presented the actor with a Cards jersey with ‘Crash’ printed on it – a reference to the Crash Davis character he played in BULL DURHAM.

After the screening, Costner stayed for a lengthy Q&A. He went on at length about how much this new film means to him and how he funded it entirely with his own money. Costner was generous with his answers and seemed to be enjoying his visit to St. Louis, the city where he filmed AMERICAN FLYERS, one of his first starring roles, 30 years ago. Look for more coverage here at We Are Movie Geeks of BLACK OR WHITE, which costars Anthony Mackie and Octavia Spencer and opens everywhere January 30th.

Watch Octavia Spencer And Kevin Costner In BLACK OR WHITE Trailer

Relativity Studios has released the trailer for the upcoming movie, BLACK OR WHITE.

BLACK OR WHITE is the story of a grandfather (Academy Award winner Kevin Costner) who is suddenly left to care for his beloved granddaughter. When the little girl’s paternal grandmother (Academy Award nominee Octavia Spencer) seeks custody, a legal battle ensues that forces the families to confront their true feelings on race, forgiveness and understanding.

Anchored by an all-star cast and based on real events, the movie is a look at two seemingly different worlds, in which nothing is as simple as black or white.

The film had its world premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival. Deadline’s Awards Columnist Pete Hammond wrote “it’s unflinchingly honest and contains a crackerjack courtroom scene that’s priceless. In that scene, Costner delivers perhaps the best performance of his career, or at least since the period of his career circa Field Of Dreams,” and that “with the right kind of campaign, this film could earn some awards mojo.”

From director/writer Mike Binder (THE UPSIDE OF ANGER), the film will open for a one-week qualifying run in LA on Wednesday, December 3rd for Oscar consideration, and in theaters everywhere on January 30th, 2015.
