Neon has released the chaotic and colorful teaser for I Love Boosters, the eagerly anticipated second feature film from visionary filmmaker Boots Riley. Following his 2018 cult hit Sorry to Bother You, Riley returns with a comedy that mixes social satire, fashion world antics, and his signature surrealist style.
The film follows a group of professional shoplifters, dubbed “boosters,” who target a ruthless fashion mogul in what the teaser calls “community service.” Riley calls the concept “Triple F: Fashion Forward Philanthropy,” blending pointed satire with over-the-top comedic flair. The teaser trailer hints at an anarchic, energetic world where style, rebellion, and clever criminal schemes collide.
I Love Boosters boasts an ensemble cast including Keke Palmer as Corvette, LaKeith Stanfield, Naomi Ackie, Demi Moore, Hannah Alline, with Don Cheadle, Eiza González, Will Poulter, Poppy Liu, and Taylour Paige. Riley also serves as writer and director, with production by Allison Rose Carter, Jon Read, Riley himself, Aaron Ryder, and Andrew Swett. Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing a vibrant urban energy to the story.
The film will premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival in March, generating buzz among cinephiles and Riley fans alike. Neon has slated a U.S. theatrical release for May 22, 2026, promising a summer of irreverent comedy and Riley’s trademark satirical edge. Early reactions to the teaser highlight the movie’s wild, inventive approach and Riley’s fearless storytelling.
Riley’s follow-up to Sorry to Bother You cements his reputation as one of the most original voices in contemporary American cinema, blending absurdist comedy with socially conscious commentary. With I Love Boosters, audiences can expect a uniquely anarchic ride, full of sharp humor, style, and commentary on consumer culture.
