    I believed that since I saw that flick. It was much shorter.

    It Comes At Night



    Riley Keough (Lisa Marie Presley's daughter.) and Kelvin Harrison, jr.

    They have a kissing scene. Warning: The kissing scene is not for the weak stomach.

    Another love story from a book is hitting the big screen with Daisy Ridley and Leslie Odom, jr. cast in
    Murder On The Orient Express.

    The cast features Judi Dench as Princess Dragomiroff, Daisy Ridley as Mary Debenham,Tony Award winner Leslie Odom, Jr. as Dr. Arbuthnot, Johnny Depp as Samuel Ratchett, Michelle Pfeiffer as Mrs. Hubbard, Penelope Cruz as Greta Ohlsson, Sir Derek Jacobi as Edward Masterman, Willem Dafoe as Gerhard Hardman, Tom Bateman as Bouc, and Lucy Boynton as Countess Andrenyi.

    In the book Mary Debenham and Dr. Arbuthnot are secret lovers, If the movie follows the book, an interracial secret romance would hold more weight in that era. It's due out this fall.

    This film was directed by Kenneth Branagh. He recast Shakespeare's As You Like with David Oyelowo (as Orlando) opposite Bryce Dallas Howard. He won't shy away from IR.

    [​IMG] Why am I just hearing about that movie now? I don't think anybody ever has mentioned it in the IR in film thread.

    Same. I remember that movie, it was hard to follow but the second time I seen it I finally got it.

    Yeah, but still we know Hollywood's history of changing IR couples from books into platonic relationships.

    But with that said Kenneth Branagh does have a history of IR in his films, so we will see.

    Branagh also directed Shakespeare's Love's Labor's Lost. There was an IR pairing in that as well. Adrian Lester and Emily Mortimer, I think.

    Dude be colorizing the classics into IR. If it's in the script, we are in good hands.

    Looks like most of Boyega's scenes were lost on the chopping block. Frankly I thought the director came across a bit like a jerk when an interviewer asked him about this. It was clear from the casting announcement that Boyega would play the love interest but in the end his storyline was largely edited out. Does that mean Watson has no love interest at all in the film? The consensus from the media is that the movie could have really used a lot more screentime of Boyega because his charisma was much needed.

    Read about this a few months ago after seeing something about it on twitter. The first report I saw claimed they would be playing husband and wife but I guess that report got some of the details wrong (unless the two are not just secret lovers but have gotten secretly married as well). So unless TPTB pull a "The Circle stunt this is indeed a legit thing. And, yes, to no one's surprise it is a Brit?European director who may have been behind this casting decision based on his prior record and simply based on him being a European in general.

    While still playing catchup to IR on the big screen involving white men/black women, there are a good number of films that came out this year or are on their way involving blacks guys in interracial relationships. Sometime this weekend if time permits I will create a thread listing them.

    I believe that JC. It seems the producers and director think Mr.Doyega does not deserve a closer relationship to Ms.Watson's character.

    Kenneth Branagh has a history of color blind casting. Branagh cast keanu reeves and denzel washington as brothers in Much Ado About Nothing and Idris Elba as Norse god Heimdall in Thor.
