Hello World,

Christian comedienne and actress Yvonne Orji of Insecure ( I interviewed her a few years back) is starring in the new movie The Blackening which is out NOW in time for Juneteenth! The premise is FIRE!!! See below…

The Blackening centers around a group of Black friends who reunite for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer. Forced to play by his rules, the friends soon realize this ain’t no motherf****** game. Directed by Tim Story (Ride Along, Think Like A Man, Barbershop) and screenplay and screen story by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip, Harlem) & Dewayne Perkins (The Amber Ruffin Show, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), The Blackening skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question: if the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who dies first?

Cast: Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo, Dewayne Perkins, Antoinette Robertson, Sinqua Wells, with Jay Pharoah, and Yvonne Orji

Directed by: Tim Story

Screenplay by: Tracy Oliver & Dewayne Perkins

Screen Story by: Tracy Oliver & Dewayne Perkins
