Bayou Caviar is a 2018 American neo-noir drama film directed by Cuba Gooding Jr. and written by Eitan Gorlin and Gooding. The film stars Gooding, Famke Janssen, Richard Dreyfuss, with Gregg Bello, Ken Lerner, Sam Thakur, Katharine McPhee, and Lia Marie Johnson in supporting roles. Russian hockey player Alexei Kovalev makes an appearance in the film. This film marks Gooding's first time as director.
Rodney (Gooding) is a former boxing star reduced to working as a bouncer, a job that eventually brings him into contact with Yuri (Dreyfuss), a Russian gangster whose preferred method for the disposal of dead bodies is in the form of "bayou caviar," which is food left to the alligators in the Louisiana swamps.
Rodney’s task is to provide compromising evidence on the son-in-law of the gangster’s business associate, a blackmail scheme that if executed properly, could rebound to the benefit of several people, including a fame-hungry teenager Kat (Lia Marie Johnson) and lesbian photographer Nic (Famke Janssen).
Principal photography began on June 19, 2017.[2]
