Jessica Chastain, Viola Davis & Michelle Pfeiffer Lead The Stars at Paramount+'s UK Launch Event

Update: With the lack of major studio product in the fall, and Lionsgate’s Judy Blume movie, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret heading to the end of April 2023, Searchlight is going to have a moderate theatrical release with their comedy caper See How They Run, and moving it up to Sept. 16.

Star Wars, James Bond and The Suicide Squad actors have united for a new film, inspired by true events in Black history. The Woman King tells the story of an all-female unit of warriors called the Agojie, who were the protectors of the African Kingdom of Dahomey back in the 1800s. In the film, a new generation of warriors are led by General Nanisca as they train to fight against a force that want to destroy their very way of life itself: an invasion of Europeans looking to expand their territory overseas and colonise the world.

Last awards season’s Best Actress race was one of the most turbulent. Post-Golden Globes, Nicole Kidman, seemed a lock for her role in “Being the Ricardos,” despite the initial industry buzz for Kristen Stewart, the ever-lively Lady Gaga bandwagon, and some not totally unreasonable outside shouts for Olivia Colman, while Jessica Chastain ultimately took it all.

Viola Davis like you’ve never seen her before. The 56-year-old actress transforms into General Nanisca, the leader of an all-female group of African warriors known as the Agojie, in the first trailer for the upcoming epic new film . Co-written and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, tells the story of Nanisca and the incredible fighters who protected the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s as the general trains the next generation of recruits for battle against colonists who threaten to destroy their way of life. “ will tell one of history’s greatest forgotten stories from the real world in which we live, where an army of African warrior women staved off slavery, colonialism and inter-tribal warfare to unify a nation,” producer Cathy Schulman said of the project when it was first revealed.

Manori Ravindran International EditorJessica Chastain turned down a fee for her surprise cameo as Donald Trump’s politician sister, Maryanne Trump, in James Gray’s “Armageddon Time” — but she had one condition.The actor told Variety that she agreed to play a small part in the Focus Features movie, but only if her involvement was never formally announced.“Armageddon Time” is based on writer-director Gray’s own childhood in the early 1980s at the Kew-Forest School in New York City — where Donald Trump also attended in his youth.
