THE DUTCHMAN Official Trailer (2026) Andre Holland, Kate Mara, Thriller Movie

THE DUTCHMAN Official Trailer (2026) Andre Holland, Kate Mara, Thriller Movie

When the therapist (I presume) says Andre Holland’s character has a “double consciousness,” that—if they’re going down that road—is a reference to WEB DuBois’ suggestion that Black Americans’ have a split identity, intimately knowing that they are a person in a world they know explicitly denies that fact. Put crudely, that American Blacks psychologically live in a double world

With the Kate Mara’s character and the all Black parties, I have concerns. But I’ll check it out. Andre Holland is having an indie resurgence.

Put crudely, that American Blacks psychologically live in a double world

With the Kate Mara’s character and the all Black parties, I have concerns. But I’ll check it out. Andre Holland is having an indie resurgence.

Cast interview from earlier this year:

Amiri Baraka's 1964 play, Dutchman, was an integral artistic work that inspired the Black Arts movement of that decade. With such a seminal text, adapting it through a contemporary lens is an arduous task, but director Andre Gaines (After Jackie) both honored Baraka's work and brought a sense of inventiveness to his cinematic adaptation of Dutchman, which features a star-studded cast, including André Holland (Love, Brooklyn), Kate Mara (The Martian), Zazie Beetz (Atlanta), and Aldis Hodge (Cross).

World Premiering at SXSW 2025, The Dutchman follows Holland as a successful business executive, haunted by his crumbling marriage and identity crisis, who is drawn into a mysterious game of cat-and-mouse after an interaction with a woman (Mara) on a subway.

At SXSW 2025, Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with Andre Gaines, André Holland, Kate Mara, Zazie Beetz, and Aldis Hodge to discuss The Dutchman, obtaining the rights to Baraka's play, navigating difficult emotions, and filming on a real moving subway train. Plus, Mara teases her upcoming film with her sister, Rooney Mara, and Werner Herzog, Bucking Fastard, Beetz teases her upcoming film with Gore Verbinski, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, and Hodge teases Cross Season 2.

Apocalypse Love Story is available on Tubi. I watched it last night. In a nutshell, it was a beautiful depiction of an IR relationship.

I just stumbled onto this film that came out earlier this year called "Kindred":

Available on Digital + On Demand February 18, 2025

Criminals Roy and Orchid target a suspected trafficker, but Orchid kills her, defying Roy. After the crime hits national news, Orchid proposes robbing the wealthy Sterlings, who reportedly hold millions in bearer bonds. The Sterlings, however, are hosting a macabre dinner party, poisoning and torturing their guests. As Roy and Orchid attempt a break-in, the Sterling’s chef, Mitch, injures Roy. Orchid, revealed to have a personal vendetta against Conrad Sterling due to past abuse, confronts him during the chaos. Hostages escape, and amid the bloody conflict, Orchid kills Conrad after he recognizes her. Learning from Ethel—her estranged mother—that the abuse led to her dismissal, Orchid exacts her final revenge. Taking the bonds, she kills Ethel and departs, leaving behind a trail of bodies, including Roy, achieving both freedom and vengeance.

Directed by Russ De Jong

Watching "Merry Missed Connection" right now & LOL they still casting Andrew Bushnell in these low budget streaming service/TV Christmas & Faith-based IR romcom films. I've NEVER seen him in a movie or TV show outside of these type of films.

Who's Andrew Bushnell? Is he the 'We're Scrooged' guy? I hope so, because if not, then Bushnell bears a striking resemblance to Cuba Gooding, Jr. LOL

The prevalence of these IR romcoms on Hallmark/Lifetime, et al, makes me wonder if they know something about their subscriber base demographic that we don't?

The demo is primarily women. All women. Diversity in the demo equals more eyes & money at the end of the day. So if your demo is diverse then cater to that demo with diversity. Only color that matters is the green from them dollars. Just my 2 cents however. #thatcapitalism

Absolutely. I was just pondering if they had data that from which they inferred that they viewership is more supportive of interracial relationships than had been thought heretofore. While the base is primarily women, I think I assumed - rightly or wrongly - that it was mostly white women. That made me think: "are adult/middle-aged white women secretly more open to IR than is commonly believed?"

I personally look at it from the viewpoint of rom-coms are basically fantasy for women. Traditional fantasy has "racial diversity" in the form of fantasy races such as elves, orcs, ogres, sentient dragons & other imaginary races. Same is true with sci-fi. Bigots & racists are the only individuals who get upset when real world racial diversity is inserted into any form of fantasy entertainment.

I was genuinely impressed by how swiftly the panties came off in public.

Big shout out to Andre Holland for going where no brother has gone before with Kate Mara on screen.

LOL, Zulay Henao is 1 of those actresses that Hollywood stays casting her as the IR love interest of black male characters.

It looks like a scripted, poorly acted IR porn movie from 2003. The snobbish mother is a MILF who cheats on the husband, and the snooty girlfriends and home boys are secretly smashing as well.
