As a gamer with a keen eye for spotting patterns and a heart that beats for the unresolved stories, I find myself intrigued by Corey Hawkins‘ career trajectory. His roles span from the small screen to the big screen, from the undead apocalypse to the vibrant streets of Compton, and now, he’s diving into the world of crime thrillers.
Actor Corey Hawkins, who’s been nominated for two Tony Awards and won an Emmy, has secured his next part in a crime film titled “Crime 101,” produced by Amazon MGM Studios. He gained fame through roles like Heath in “The Walking Dead,” Dr. Dre in “Straight Outta Compton,” and Houston Brooks in “Kong: Skull Island.
It was revealed that Hawkins is now part of the already-announced ensemble featuring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Halle Berry, and Monica Barbaro in the project. At this time, no specifics about Hawkins’ character or the other roles have been disclosed.
Filmmaker Bart Layton has taken the popular psychological thriller novel by Don Winslow and transformed it into a new film. Although specifics about the movie’s storyline are being kept secret, the book tells the tale of Davis, a skilled jewel thief, who is planning to execute a daring diamond heist on the Pacific Coast Highway. He hopes this will be his final job. However, things become complicated when he finds himself in a game of chase with Detective Lou Lubesnick from the Los Angeles Police Department.
In this new thriller, I find myself sharing the screen with Willem Defoe and Anna Diop in the movie titled “The Man in My Basement.” It’s a fresh directorial venture by Nadia Latif, adapted from Walter Mosley’s novel. As for my character, I play Charles Blakey, a man who calls the African American community of Sag Harbor home. Times are tough; I’m jobless, luckless, and facing foreclosure on my family house.
In November 2024, Hawkins will join forces with Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, Ray Fisher, Michael Potts, Erykah Badu, Skylar Aleece Smith, and Danielle Deadwyler in the movie adaptation of August Wilson’s 1987 play, “The Piano Lesson.” This film is set in the Charles family after the Great Depression, who own a piano adorned with carvings made by one of their enslaved ancestors. The movie will hit theaters on November 8 and be available on Netflix from November 22.
Furthermore, Hawkins has recently been featured in a production titled “The Last Voyage of the Demeter“, which is derived from one chapter of Bram Stoker’s classic novel “Dracula“. Additionally, he collaborated with fellow actor Colman Domingo, who is also part of the “Walking Dead” universe, in a musical adaptation of “The Color Purple“.
In a nod to his stellar stage presence, he earned his second nomination for the Tony Awards following his role in “Top Dog/Underdog” on Broadway. Earlier, he was recognized with his first Tony nomination for his performance in the 2017 Broadway production of “Six Degrees of Separation.
Hawkins is often recalled for his portrayal of Heath in “The Walking Dead,” despite having limited screen time. His character’s fate was left unexplained and he wasn’t referred to again afterward. Showrunner Angela Kang disclosed that Heath had actually been taken by the Civic Republic Military (CRM) from Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh). Fans were hopeful that they might see his character return in “The World Beyond” or “The Ones Who Live” spinoffs, as these series prominently focused on the CRM. However, this did not come to pass.
