Remembering Abi Damaris Corbin’s Breaking This Memorial Day Weekend Abi Damaris Corbin’s 'Breaking' (2022) is a heart-touching film that highlights and humanizes the life of former U.S. Marine war veteran, Brian Brown-Easley (John Boyega) in a thrilling drama. Using a part-documentary style approach, the film illuminates Brian’s intimate experiences with the Department of Veterans Affairs as he struggles to reintegrate into society following social and financial neglect on their part. In a 104-minute-long cinematic story, Golden Globe Award winner John Boyega delivers a captivating and heartfelt performance that brings to life the hardships and attempts at redress Brian endured before taking matters into his own hands. Breaking showcases some of the most alluring performances by John Boyega, Nicole Beharie, Selenis Levya, and Michael K. Williams, and beautiful cinematography among recent films while forcing viewers to confront the harsh realities of many veterans living in the narrative shadows of American patriotism. - Dominique Young ( @heyyydommm ) READ THE FULL ARTICLE ON THEBLKSCRIPT.COM ____________________________________________________ #abidamariscorbin #johnboyega #breaking #writer #writers #writing #screenwriting #screenwriter #screenwriters #blackwriters #blackwriter #blackscreenwriters #screenwritersofcolor #writersofcolor #script #screenplay #actor #actress #actors #blackactors #blackactress #actorsofcolor #film #filmmakers #filmmaker #filmmakersofcolor #theblkscript

Noma Dumezweni Set To Star In Two Upcoming Projects, ‘The Friend’ And ‘Murderbot’ The incredibly talented Noma Dumezweni gears up for not one, but two thrilling projects on the horizon. Renowned for her captivating performances on stage and screen, Dumezweni is set to dazzle audiences once again with her upcoming roles in 'The Friend' and 'Murderbot.' In 'The Friend,' a captivating indie project currently in production in New York, Dumezweni joins forces with acclaimed actors Naomi Watts and Bill Murray. Directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel, this adaptation of Sigrid Nunez’s bestselling novel promises to be a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships. Dumezweni's presence alongside a stellar cast including Sarah Pidgeon, Constance Wu, and Ann Dowd hints at the depth and nuance her character will bring to the story. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a vibrant literary world, weaving together themes of friendship, grief, and redemption. Watts, who not only stars in the film but also serves as an executive producer, demonstrates her unwavering commitment to bringing this compelling story to life. With production underway and support from industry veterans like producer Liza Chasin, 'The Friend' promises to be a cinematic experience like no other. But that's not all—Dumezweni is also set to lead the cast of the highly anticipated Apple TV+ sci-fi drama series, 'Murderbot.' Based on Martha Wells’ award-winning book series, 'The Murderbot Diaries,' this groundbreaking show follows the journey of a self-hacking security android as it grapples with the complexities of human emotion. In 'Murderbot,' Dumezweni's character, Mensah, plays a pivotal role in driving the narrative forward, alongside co-stars Alexander Skarsgård and David Dastmalchian. With industry veterans Chris and Paul Weitz at the helm, handling writing, directing, and producing duties, and Martha Wells serving as a consulting producer, 'Murderbot' promises to push the boundaries of the sci-fi genre. ____________________________________ #nomadumezweni #thefriend #murderbot #blackentertainment #theblkscript
Starz Renews Hit Drama Series ‘BMF’ For Season 4 Ahead Of Season 3 Premiere Starz has once again captured the attention of audiences with its electrifying drama series "BMF," also known as Black Mafia Family, as it secures an early renewal for its fourth season. Just on the heels of the third season's premiere, Starz announced the continuation of the gripping saga, citing the show's remarkable success, with an average viewership of 10.6 million across various platforms. Scheduled to debut on March 1 at midnight via the Starz app, followed by its linear network premiere at 8 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. and 9 p.m. ET in Canada, the third season promises to delve deeper into the tumultuous world of the Flenory brothers, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory (@lilmeechbmf) and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory (@davinchi ). These brothers, architects of the notorious Black Mafia Family, are set to navigate the treacherous terrain of the early '90s, with Meech venturing to Atlanta to expand the BMF empire while Terry remains entrenched in Detroit, oblivious to the impending dangers. As the narrative unfolds, viewers can expect tensions to escalate within the Flenory family, with Charles Flenory (@russoulhornsby) and Lucille Flenory (@micholewhite) grappling with marital strife. Meanwhile, Detectives Bryant (@theonlysteveharris) and Jin (@kellyhu), despite finding themselves on opposite sides of the law, may discover common ground in their mission to dismantle BMF. Furthermore, the upcoming season promises to introduce compelling guest stars who will intersect with Meech and Terry, adding layers to their evolving journey.

Can’t wait to share them. For now I’m celebrating the fact that this was the Black History Month we wrapped production on HOLLYWOOD BLACK ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Thank you to the GOATS that sat for me starting with Donald Bogle, Black Cinema’s preeminent historian and author of the book that gives us our name, Hollywood Black.

The Color Purple Q&A With Danielle Brooks 2-23-24. 👍🏽 I went to my 2nd screening of The Color Purple (2023), with a Q&A afterward with Best Supporting Actress Academy Award Nominee Danielle Brooks (@thedaniellebrooks). I’m not joking when I say that everyone in my row had tears in their eyes at the end of this screening, and you could hear sniffles throughout the movie theater. lol. It’s a powerful and beautiful movie. This movie should’ve been nominated for Best Actress for Fantasia Barrino, Best Supporting Actress for Danielle Brooks, and Best Picture. Alas, Danielle Brooks was the only nominee. The Q&A with Danielle Brooks was wonderful. I love it whenever Danielle Brooks gives interviews. Danielle Brooks even sang a bit of the song “Hell No!”, which was amazing live. Congratulations to Danielle Brooks! Speaking of awards, I hope all of my SAG-AFTRA friends voted for the awards. I know I did! I can’t wait to see the Screen Actors Guild Awards tonight at 5pm. I think there will be a few surprise winners. 🎭🏆 ~ @oscar.mcfarlane ____________________________________________________ #daniellebrooks #thecolorpurple #writer #writers #writing #screenwriting #screenwriter #screenwriters #blackwriters #blackwriter #blackscreenwriters #screenwritersofcolor #writersofcolor #script #screenplay #actor #actress #actors #blackactors #blackactress #actorsofcolor #producers #film #filmmakers #filmmaker #filmmakersofcolor #independentfilmmaker #indiefilmmaker #indiefilmmakers #theblkscript

Juliano Krue Valdi To Play Young Michael In Antoine Fuqua’s ‘Michael’ For Lionsgate Nine-year-old Juliano Krue Valdi (@julianokrue) has secured the coveted role of young Michael Jackson in the forthcoming Lionsgate and UIP film, "Michael," directed by Antoine Fuqua. Valdi will bring to life the early years of Michael Jackson, portraying the legendary artist during his ascent to fame with the Jackson 5. The film will capture the magic of the iconic hits such as "I Want You Back," "ABC," and "I'll Be There." Graham King, one of the producers, remarked, “When Michael was very young – eleven years old – he astounded the world, possessing the spirit and talent of an adult. He was truly an old soul. He and Juliano have that in common.” King praised Valdi's phenomenal talent and deep inspiration from Michael Jackson, noting that he has translated that inspiration into a captivating performance. Antoine Fuqua added, “Casting the role of the young Michael was more difficult than casting the adult role. In the end, that was our focus – talent – and we looked far and wide for an actor who could embody Michael’s spirit through his voice, his charisma, and his dance skills. Juliano’s undeniable, raw talent put him at the top of our list.” Valdi, visibly excited, expressed the significance of the opportunity, saying, “This opportunity is really important to me because Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, and he is very special in my heart. I’ve been dancing to his songs for five years now. He makes me feel really special and makes me feel good about myself. I love the energy of Michael Jackson.” The cast also includes Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson's nephew, set to play the King of Pop in the film. Cameras are set to roll next week, with the movie slated for a global day and date theatrical release on April 18, 2025. ___________________________________________ #julianokruevaldi #antoinefuqua #michaeljackson #blackentertainment #theblkscript
Rap Sh!t Cancelled By Max After Two Seasons Max, the streaming platform, has decided not to proceed with a third season of Issa Rae's comedy series "Rap Sh!t." This announcement comes a month after the conclusion of the show's second season on the streaming service. Originally scheduled for an August 10 debut, the second season of "Rap Sh!t" was delayed to November due to strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). The intention was to provide a better opportunity for the creative team and cast to promote the series. Max, like other streaming services, has been streamlining its lineup of original content. The cancellation of "Rap Sh!t" means that there are now five returning comedy series on the platform, including "Hacks," "And Just Like That…," "The Sex Lives of College Girls," "Peacemaker," and the recently renewed "Bookie." A spokesperson for Max expressed gratitude to Issa Rae for creating "Rap Sh!t," describing it as a unique comedy with compelling social commentary that resonated with viewers. The statement also thanked Issa Rae, showrunner Syreeta Singleton, and the teams at Hoorae and 3 Arts Entertainment for their contributions to the series. "Rap Sh!t" follows the story of two estranged high school friends from Miami, Shawna (Aida Osman) and Mia (KaMillion), who reunite to form a rap group. As they ascend to fame, Shawna and Mia face a crucial moment in their rap career, where they must decide whether to stay true to themselves or conform to the demands of the music industry. The cast of the series includes Jonica Booth as Chastity, RJ Cyler as Lamont, and Daniel Augustin as Maurice. Issa Rae, the creator of the show, served as an executive producer for Hoorae, with showrunner Syreeta Singleton, Dave Becky, and Jonathan Berry executive producing for 3 Arts Entertainment, and Jim Kleverweis. __________________________________________ #rapshit #issarae #hoorae #max #hbomax #aidaosman #kamillion #jonicabooth #rjcyler #blackentertainment #theblkscript
BET+ is set to launch a spinoff of Carl Weber's The Family Business, taking the action to the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans, and featuring Brandon T. Jackson in the lead role. Jackson not only takes center stage as the star but also steps into the role of associate producer for the upcoming eight-episode series. Production is slated to commence in March, promising an exciting addition to the original series that concluded its fourth season in October 2022. Drawing inspiration from Weber's best-selling crime drama book series, The Family Business revolves around the Duncan family, known for their reputable and close-knit demeanor during the day as owners of a high-end exotic car dealership in New York. However, when night falls, their business ventures take a more shadowy turn. In this spinoff narrative, the New Orleans faction of the Duncan family finds themselves entangled in a ruthless turf war involving corrupt politicians, unscrupulous land developers, and formidable crime bosses. The battleground? The family's underground casino and night club business. In a desperate bid to retain control, they reach out to their New York relatives, seeking their unique brand of justice. Big Shirley Duncan, the proprietor of the popular New Orleans club Midnight Blues, and her son Marquis (played by Jackson), are thrust into a fierce power struggle. This clash involves the most dangerous individuals in the city, both on the lawful and illicit sides, all driven by hidden motives to claim a stake in the Duncan family's business and land. Fearing the loss of control over The Blues, Big Shirley sends Marquis to New York, seeking aid from her brother-in-law, crime boss L.C. Duncan. L.C. then assembles a team comprising his nephew, Bounty Hunter Curts Duncan, and his highly skilled niece, Lauryn Duncan, to provide muscle and security to the family's business. __________________________________________ #brandontjackson #thefamilybusiness #betplus #blackentertainment #theblkscript
