Children of Blood and Bone

Uh-

Because when does Blood and, um-

Children of Blood and Bone?

Yeah, when does that drop?

I think it comes out in January.

Mm-hmm

... then it probably coulda, could have been a good drop for February.

I would say don't drop around the same time as Children of Blood and Bones, because let them go ahead and get their audience-

Also, that's an interesting note for Tomi.

Um, I know we're gonna get to Children of Blood and Bone eventually.

It comes out in January here, friends and lovers.

But she talked about, uh, you know, wanting to explore different sort of topics, including the neglect of Black women in healthcare, especially deaths during pregnancy, and I think that is not just noble but very important to normalize and have a specific lens, a very important, the right lens on that story.

Oh, God.

We were filming the same time they were filming Children of Blood and Bone.

Mm.

So I saw Damson and Amandla and Ira, and, like, we'll all get together, and it was really fun, but we all were saying the same thing about shooting out there.

yeah

I needed that more for the Lord of the Rings but yeah it's interesting to see how these adaptations come out and like try to figure it out but it's also interesting to see like controversies about um of Blood and Bone is it Children of Blood and Bone like how big the divide is right now and like how do you work that out when like they're so at odds

I don't think you do.

I mean, we don't know what happened.

And, uh, wait,

uh, wait, wait, what's this? So they kind of pull them the same BS with children of blood and bone.

Ain't nothing but Negroes in that.

That movie is basically, uh, uh, uh, what was it? If black, if, uh, If you took...

This was like kind of during the time we were, I think you were out, but so the funny thing is I saw people acting a whole monkey about the casting for this movie, but there's something, and I want to make something clear.

I never read any of these books.

I have no like personal experience with the children of blood and bone as a series of books.

However, I've talked to people who have read those books.

So telling.

And it outlines the current state of Paramount's upcoming film adaptation of Adamia's smash hit YA fantasy, Children of Blood and Bone.

Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, of course.

Yes, which is a huge detail we'll get to.

because they don't trust the book's title to do it alone.

Exactly.

Paramount clearly felt that the IP of Children of Blood and Bone, despite being a massive bestseller, wasn't strong enough on its own to open a hundred and fifty million dollar movie globally.

They needed the insurance policy.

I also want to read

Children of Blood and Bone.

But then that got...

That got messy.
