Listen: Issa Rae Talks Spider-Man, ‘The Photograph’ and the End of ‘Insecure’

In Universal's recently released The Photograph, stars Issa Rae and LaKeith Stanfield take on roles different from both their familiar TV characters in Insecure and Atlanta, respectively, and their past film characters. Instead, as the romantic leads in the drama, Rae and Stanfield play a couple falling in love as Rae's Mae grieves the death of her mother, learning more about the woman she was and fearing that, like her mom, Mae won't be able to commit to people she cares about.

Issa Rae is part of a growing class of talented creatives transforming black storytelling on-screen. The writer-producer-actress parlayed the success of her cult web series, The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl, into the hit HBO show Insecure—which quickly become a favorite lyrical reference among rappers. For the newest episode of Between The Lines, Issa Rae broke down some of those lines and gave her take on the lyrics that mentioned her.

Issa Rae co-stars in two romantic movies with leading men of color this year: “The Photograph,” a drama with Lakeith Stanfield, and the upcoming rom-com “The Lovebirds” with Kumail Nanjiani. Rae said the former — written and directed by Stella Meghie — echoes the nostalgia of one of her favorite films centered on black love, “Love & Basketball.” The latter features a coupling she hasn’t seen since Denzel Washington romanced Sarita Choudhury in 1991’s “Mississippi Masala.”

Issa Rae is finally sharing her reaction to the now viral photo of her sitting next to Lisa Rinna and her daughters – Amelia and Delilah – front row at New York Fashion Week.

The Photograph is a romance-heavy star vehicle for Issa Rae and Lakeith Stanfield that’s deeply flawed but both sexy and thoughtful.
