Lupita Nyong’o Cast in A Quiet Place Spinoff A Quiet Place: Day One
Lupita Nyong’o is leaving Wakanda for somewhere much, much quieter: the Black Panther actress has been cast in A Quiet Place: Day One, a spinoff of John Krasinski’s 2018 directorial debut A Quiet Place. Though A Quiet Place: Day One is based on an idea by Krasinski — in which protagonists must fend off extraterrestrials with hypersensitive hearing — this seems to be a standalone movie rather than a continuation of the storyline that starred Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Michael Sarnoski will instead be taking the director’s seat in the follow-up to his 2021 breakout Pig. He took over when the original director attached to the project, Jeff Nichols, departed back in October 2021. While the third film in the Quiet Place franchise has yet to make its storyline heard, we ...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Getty Images / Black Panther: Wakanda Forever It’s almost time to head back to Wakanda. Before fans embark on what will most definitely be an emotional journey, the cast and crew of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever shined at the film’s world premiere. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is just a few weeks from its November 11, 2022 release, but before it arrives, the cast and crew hit Los Angeles to celebrate the film’s completion after what seemed like a grueling process.

The 355 Review: Predictable Twists Bog Down This Lady Spy Thriller
The Pitch: There is a certain sub-genre of films, largely action films, that belong to a very specific time and place — an idyllic lazy Saturday afternoon, that post-lunch or brunch drowsiness kicking in as you nestle into your couch at home, searching for something to watch that won’t require too much effort to engage with on your part. The kind of movie you might watch with your dad over the holidays, just because it’s on cable. What The 355 offers up is a perfect Saturday afternoon dad movie, but instead of starring Stallone or Eastwood or Bronson, it stars five women with six Oscar nominations and two wins between them. (And was written by the creator of NBC’s Smash!) Approached with those sorts of low expectations, the new action drama starring Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélo...

In her first public words following his death, Nyong’o took to Instagram to share her thoughts about the death of Boseman, who passed away last month at the age of 43 from colon cancer. “I write these words from a place of hopelessness, to honor a man who had great hope,” Lupita Nyong’o wrote. “I am struggling to think and speak about my friend, Chadwick Boseman, in the past tense. It doesn’t make sense. The news of his passing is a punch to my gut every morning.” While Nyong’o notes that she understands that Boseman was human, much like the rest of us, she couldn’t fathom why the world didn’t have more time with the iconic actor, bef...
