Fathom Entertainment is setting the stage for one of 2026’s most anticipated releases with Moses the Black, arriving nationwide on January 30. In collaboration with Simeon Faith, the Nick Mirkopoulos Cinematic Fund, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the project unites a powerhouse collective of production houses — Simeon Entertainment, G-Unit Film and Television, Taylor Gang Films, and BrooklynWorks Films for a modern parable rooted in the true story of its namesake fourth-century saint.
At its core, Moses the Black reframes a historical narrative through the lens of contemporary Chicago. Omar Epps leads as Malik, a hardened gang leader whose violent world begins to collide with a spiritual reckoning. Wiz Khalifa, stepping further into his evolving acting career, plays 2wo-3ree, the fiery and ambitious lieutenant threatening to unravel Malik’s fragile control. Quavo brings sharp intensity as Straw, a rival whose presence accelerates the film’s central power struggle. The spiritual anchor comes through Chukwudi Iwuji’s portrayal of St. Moses the Black, guided by director Yelena Popovic, whose previous work (Man of God) leaned into humanity, faith, and transformation.
Wiz Khalifa executive-produces a pulsating original soundtrack featuring Quavo and a roster of collaborators, giving the movie a sonic landscape that mirrors its grit and emotional stakes. Already, the project has stirred buzz across online communities and faith-based circles alike.
For 50 Cent, the film’s message is the point: “This film is about redemption and real change. It’s raw, it’s emotional, and it’s powerful,” he said. Fathom CEO Ray Nutt echoes that urgency, calling it “an action-packed drama made to be seen on the big screen.”
Their last collaboration, Man of God, drew critical acclaim. With Moses the Black, they’re aiming for something even more resonant an exploration of violence, grace, and the possibility of rebirth in a world that rarely forgives.
