IFC Films has snagged U.S. rights to Chris Morris’s satire The Day Shall Come, set for release Sept. 27, per Variety. The film will mark nine years since Morris’ debut Four Lions, a brazenly funny, pitch-black comedy about a group of Islamic terrorists.
Morris’s new film will tell the story of Moses Al Shabaz, a political activist working in the Miami projects, banning guns in his community, fighting crime and plotting a government coup. But he and his wife are struggling with money, barely evading eviction and desperately accepting a $50,000 deal to horde illegal guns. The deal takes a turn as it’s revealed his sponsor works for the FBI, launching him into an absurd and wildly escalating cat-and-mouse chase.
