Adult Swim - Barbershop: The Next Cut

ADULT SWIM / Barbershop: The Next Cut

Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer are back as Calvin and Eddie in 'Barbershop: The Next Cut'. They're working to save Calvin's Barbershop and bring positive change to the neighborhood in the fourth film of the Barbershop series.

We were super psyched to create this promo trailer for Adult Swim, drawing inspiration from West African painted signboards. Fun with type and types of hair was the name of this game.
