The film is set to release in January 2027… aka “dump month.” On top of that, Tomi has reportedly unfollowed a major cast member, Amandla Stenberg. This was supposed to be a landmark moment for African fantasy on the big screen but it’s starting to feel like another case of Hollywood mishandling Black stories. From the January release date to casting choices that don’t fully align with the story’s themes… something feels off. And this is the bigger issue: Black intellectual property especially African fantasy needs more control and ownership. Too often, Hollywood reshapes these stories through a Eurocentric lens or only backs them when they fit certain narratives. Maybe it’s time for indie studios to take the lead because authenticity matters, and these stories deserve better. #africanfantasy #blackmovies #bookadaptation #tomiadeyemi #childrenofbloodandbone yX1RMxbXddK wNZ4t2JCkoC K2J1UQ5QHsT OGJiDOdBq9n ZWKk48yrP1O y4yj8uFy5wx c4ganwG05AF
