& then to drop screenshots of a conversation….to hint at why she’s distancing herself instead of saying it flat out. Lmao imma stop talking about this bcus I’m irritated
Sad bc if Children of the Blood & Bone was adapted & cast right, it would've gotten a big audience. Black ppl love fantasy. I mean, there's a big fanbase of blk ppl that absolutely enjoy anything Game of Thrones. So imagine sumn w/ hella blk characters.
Fumbled badly.
Need all the Black fantasy writers to work together & try to get their adaptations out of development hell before Children of Blood and Bone ruins it for them completely.
A great story turned into a messy adaptation with the casting and now with the AUTHOR saying they don’t support the film, it will probably flop hard af. Like BOO 🍅👎🏾
& now that actors and everybody on the crew have worked their asses off on the movie….now you wanna not support it….. & THEN not tell the ppl why
It’s already getting a January release (which is movie industry dumping ground) AND when we the people were talking about the casting being goofy you helped gaslight us… this is just messy af
well well well. I will say it's unfortunate bcus it's an amazing story & my curiosity will cause me to watch but I CALLED IT, too many liberties taken for a film will ALWAYS diminish the written text.
Author Tomi Adeyemi reveals that she has distanced herself from the upcoming film adaptation of her novel ‘CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE,’ directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood:
“there is a reason i will not post anything about the adaptation of my work… i have not seen the film, and i will not watch it. its been painful holding this back from you all.”
Mississippi police shot and killed a 1-year-old child who was in the car with his mother.
Autopsy reports reveal the child was shot through the side of the car, contradicting officers' claims that the car was heading towards them.
