Magnet to release sequel to Cocaine Cowboys

I generally hate sequels, but Magnolia Pictures’ Magnet has announced a follow up to a Billy Corben’s very popular documentary about the drug trade in Miami. Magnet Releasing have picked up Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin’ with the Godmother and will theatrically release the picture sometime this year. For a refresher’s course on part I see the trailer below.

Picking up where Cocaine Cowboys left us, part II begins in 1991 with Charles Cosby, who is
selling ounces of cocaine on the inner-city streets of Oakland,
California. His life is changed forever when he writes a fan letter to
the “Cocaine Godmother” Griselda Blanco, an unforgettable crime figure
immortalized in COCAINE COWBOYS who is serving time at a nearby federal
prison. Six months later, Cosby is a multi-millionaire, Blanco’s lover,
and the head of her $40 million a year cocaine business. Also known as
“The Black Widow” for her propensity to permanently dispose of her men
when she’s done with them, Blanco will stop at nothing to ensure that
Charles is faithful to her. Cosby soon learns that he’s in way over his
head.
