We picked out Jacob Latimore as one of our 17 Actors to Watch in 2017 — and that should give you every indication that it’s going to be an amazing year for him!
Not only did his brand new movie, Collateral Beauty, just debuted in theaters, he also has another heading to the big screen!
Titled Sleight, Jacob stars alongside Storm Reid (who will be in Ava DuVerney‘s upcoming A Wrinkle in Time) and Seychelle Gabriel in the flick.
He plays a young street magician, who is left to care for his little sister after their parents’ passing and turns to illegal activities to keep a roof over their heads. When he gets in too deep, his sister is kidnapped and he is forced to use his magic and brilliant mind to save her.
