Director John Singleton, who is at the American Black Film Festival in Miami celebrating the 20th anniversary of his seminal work, Boyz n the Hood, sat down with The Root to chat about black film.

TR: What are you working on right now?

JS: I have a new movie coming out called Abduction. It’s a spy thriller with the most popular teenage star in the world, Taylor Lautner, who starred in the Twilight pictures. It’s about a teenage kid who finds out his parents aren’t his real parents and his real father is a big dangerous spy. I really can’t tell you too much more, so what is there to say about it but that I know it’s going to be a big hit?
