Regina King is starring in Gina Prince-Bythewood’s newest, Youngsters of Blood and Bone, based mostly on the e book and set in “a fictional African kingdom full of magic.” It’s Gina’s first because the roundly praised and sadly Oscar-snubbed The Lady King, and I hope it’s superb and builds on the success of that movie. I imply, Regina King, Damson Idris, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thuso Mbedo, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Cynthia Erivo, Amandla Stenberg, and Lashanna Lynch?!? This press tour goes to be AMAZING. Pity we have now to attend till January 2027 — and whereas I used to be initially involved by that date being in an awards no-man’s-land, I wager they’ll do a restricted launch in December to make positive it’s eligible. GO HARD, Paramount.
