If i remember right there is a rumor that Michael B Jordan should play JDW role but he couldn't do it because of other project and JDW got the job. Idk exactly about what this movie is about, there isn't a real
synopsis until now, i just know some members of the cast according with some articles and it's directed by a famous director.
Last year they were shooting some scenes

They're keeping this film SUPER under wraps because according to imdb it is in post-production. Also a interesting note is that also has Anya Taylor-Joy, Taylor Swift, Chris Rock and Robert De Niro in it. Could give some hint as to why it is being kept under wraps.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10304142/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_3

So it's a super famous cast coming together like Don't Look Up from Netflix, here they have a singer/actress Taylor Swift and DLU had Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi and i feel like they were playing a parody of themselves.

Spoiler

I understand the Margot Robbie and John David Washington characters in upcoming move Amsterdam will fall in love

Thanks for the info!

Spoiler

I was hoping her or Anya Taylor Joy would go that route. That's at least 4 ww/bm TV roles for Margot now. I was already planning to see this movie, now I'm more motivated. Here's hoping they don't depress me with the ending lol

Did this turn out to be true? I don't wanna watch if not lol

Despite it being a big budget major studio wide theatrical release with big names, it looks like nobody ever bothered to post the trailer for the 2022 film "Amsterdam", so I'm posting it now:

Amsterdam (2022)

"Amsterdam," the latest film from acclaimed writer/director David O. Russell, is a fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction for a timely, cinematic experience. 20th Century Studios' and New Regency's original crime epic is about three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.

Skimming through the Wikipedia cast info & plot summary, it does seem that John David Washington & Margot Robbie are love interests. Zoe Saldana plays Christian Bale's love interest + he has a separate estranged wife, so there's no love triangle between the 3 lead characters.

I couldn't find a trailer for the 2017 Lifetime film "Stalked by my Ex" either. But I was able to find trailers for:


"Old Flames Never Die"

&

"Wheels of Beauty" (A.K.A "Driven to Kill")

I saw both movies on Lifetime and can affirm that they both have positive IR portrayals not to spoil them too much as of course there are some challenges along the way.

How did you watch them? Looking at the JustWatch pages for each of the 5 Lifetime films that were mentioned in those series of quoted posts, I don't think any of them are on a free streaming service app/website or on a popular subscription streaming service (i.e. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, & etc.). You either gotta digitally buy/rent them OR have a sub to a more obscure streaming service or certain cable/satellite services.

Hey guys & gals . . . I just stumbled upon an early 90's crime thriller featuring one of the most underrated baddest beauties in the business . . . Maria from "Head of the Class" . . . Leslie Rae Bega who also played Valentina de la Paz on HBO in "The Sopranos" for several seasons and she is starring as the lead actress in "Angel in Red" on @Tubi.

This is good late night find a d rather unexpected too as I knew I knew her from somewhere but . . . I couldn't remember where lol. Damn she fine in 1991 as I loved "Head of the Class" on ABC in the late 80's and looks the same. She kisses a BIG Black pimp named "Stash" who she calls for help after her pimp Sharkey" played by a strikingly young Jeffery Dean Morgan beats the brakes off her friend. That's all the spoilers I will post. Damn this White woman is fiiiiiiiinnnnneeee!!! She has my FULL ATTENTION . I haven't finished the movie yet but I like the set up so far. She is caring for her younger brother who was so abused by their father that he is developmental disabled. I really like "Angel in Red" so far . . .

I saw them as I said . . . on Lifetime channel. I didn't see the trailer beforehand as I just was channel surfing and stumbled across them both at the time. Sometimes I program my Verizon FiOS to remind me of a movie in advance but in these cases I just happened upon them accidentally. Lifetime has an app on Amazon Firestick for OnDemand viewing as does your particular cable provider and they should be free for you as they are for me.

"Dying for a Crown " for example is available OnDemand via Lifetime.

Saw Night Swim, I don't know how much y'all want me to say.

Spoiler: There is interest.....

but once the scene in the pool happens, she is frigid towards him because of what happened in the pool, he flaked on her for no reason while that was happening. The horror story takes over the whole movie and they never get back to it.

There was some discussion about it before the movie came out. The trailer gave us some small hints about Margot and JDW but nothing concrete and that is why I at least wasn't going to make any proclamations. I finally got around to seeing the film on cable this past spring and the two of them do become a couple who only have eyes for each other. They are paired with one another through much of the film and in the end move to Europe together where their relationship would be more tolerated. Without question their coupling is given more time and development than any other but as I wrote on this site long ago...if a trailer has an opportunity to play up the idea that a white male will have a love interest it will do so even if it means exaggerating the circumstances, if it has that same chance to do so for a black male it will typically do the opposite because its not trying to sell black masculinity. Now you add the factor that the love interest for that black male is a white woman and it is possible it will completely bury all evidence. For this film the trailer kinda does just that with JDW and Margot but tells us that our white guy is hooking up with a black chick.

He did at least kiss her though

Mr. Malcolm's List

Black and Indian eh well that is rare...I remember seeing the proof of concept for this years ago. I guess Bridgerton convinced someone to make this.

I remember two movies in my life about IW/BM,Mississippi Masala and flick of Indian women going to Blackpool,England. One of the women was pregnant by a Black man.

Not for Miss Freida Pinto. This is I believe her third IR with a black man on screen.

Guerrilla (showtime series)

Only (2019 sci-fi movie)

Looks like they put out a 11.5-minute preview clip for "Mr. Malcolm's List" back in 2019, 3 years before the movie came out:

Mr. Malcolm's List Directed by Emma Holly Jones

Set in early 1800's England, a young lady (Gemma Chan) engages in courtship with a mysterious wealthy suitor, Mr. Malcolm (Sope Dirisu), unaware of his unattainable list of demands for his future wife. Written by Suzanne Allain, based on her script and novel of the same name, and directed by Emma Holly Jones, the romantic comedy stars Sope Dirisu, Gemma Chan, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Freida Pinto.

Watching Paramount + and a 2016 movie titled "BeatBox" featuring an aspiring Afro-American DJ who does alcohol beverage deliveries and his gorgeous Euro-American girlfriend who has an uptown corporate job. Looks decent so far . . .

Here's the trailer for the 2015 film "Beatbox":

Beatbox (2015)
A talented musician, about to trade his dreams for a safe career in his girlfriend's family business, finds his voice, but loses the girl, when a mysterious record label owner introduced him to a group of Brooklyn beatboxers.

Watching "Beatbox" right now & this film has a love triangle. The BM lead character has 2 IR love interests:

1. His live-in GF (Her Father is also the lead character's employer at his day job) who becomes disillusioned with his struggling music career passion.

2. This Singer chick who the lead character met/got to know/hangs out with while pursing his music career passion.

I watched this years ago . . . it was on Amazon and just bored me honestly. There are a couple faith-based Christian movies on Amazon like this one with interracial themes though. I even purchased one called "Where is the GOOD?" [The Director's Cut]. I will post the trailer tomorrow.

Here's the trailer for "Where is Good?":

Is there an actual wwbm couple in this movie, or just it just implied or something? This flick must've seriously had about a $100 budget; these people clearly just love making movies, why else do this? Poor Cece Peniston must've had her checks from "Finally" dry up on her lol

Exactly and I wanted "Eternity" to be good but . . . it just wasn't good enough to finish lol. The Director's Cut of "Where is GOOD?" was very entertaining by contrast and I had to buy it because . . . why settle for the toned-down / watered down version? The ending was very surprising too and I hope you take the time to rent it . . . I was really pulling for the black guy that the pretty Christian Blonde protagonist talks to in the supermarket towards the end to put his bid in

I wouldn't have purchased the movie if it wasn't worth it. You have to make your own decision but I am happy to add it to my Amazon library of IR movies. It is faaaar more entertaining than "Eternity" which I stopped watching so I could see if "Where is GOOD" was any good. Then I read the reviews on Amazon and learned there was a Director's Cut with more Mature Adult material than the basic version. The movie is not poorly made . . . the homes and interiors of the homes all look good and the camera is 1080i. If you choose to rent it on Amazon you will see how good it is . . . I just like crime movies on Lifetime anyway and this is much darker and disturbing if you get the Director's Cut. It is rare to see a Republican Christian movie that is based on a true story that goes to the places that "Where is GOOD" goes into . . . I don't want to spoil it but it really surprised me. I watch a lot of TUBI so I know what you mean by cheap $100 budget as those are the horror movies I reject during the trailer and this movie is not short on money . . . not many of those Republican Christian movies are?

Thanks for the breakdown. I'm definitely more curious to see it now. But just to be clear, there IS an actual wwbm couple here?

You just have to rent it . . . I have already nearly spoiled this movie lol. The trailer told me enough on Amazon to spend a couple quarters on it. The ending of the movie leaves you with enough to make your own projection of where the protagonist was going next in her life romantically.

I guess honestly I bought "Where is Good" because I am a dark, demented horror movie enthusiast and I wanted something vastly different in my Amazon movie theater. It's the only Republican Christian movie in there lol.

It really does not fit in with the other movies like Havoc III the unrated version but I do have an affinity for movies that are unique and rare in some significant way. I just started watching it again the other day and well . . . I still like it because it doesn't fit the mold of my movie tastes and that's giving it it's own flavor.

I just watched "Where is Good?". What a fucced up movie it was. There is NO endgame IR 'ship in this film. So if you decide to watch the film based on @Young Herschel's teasing in this thread, you'll be disappointed.

Does it have interracial content . . . yes. There is an interracial BM & WW cop partnership too. The movie has some surprising twists as the aforementioned couple tries to track down the serial criminal and I couldn't believe who it turned out to be. On a Lifetime Movie channel scale . . . the movie is VERY entertaining as that was how I measured it. Never claimed it to be like a Lifetime romance movie but rather like a Lifetime criminal thriller with interracial content.

@ColiBreh1 did you see the PG-13 abridged version of "Where is GOOD"?!? That one is significantly shorter than the unrated extended version I own. I still think it is better than most Lifetime criminal thriller movies but I understand if some may not share my appreciation for movies that forgo the happy ending Hallmark movie channel trope and go off into darker more realistic directions (referring to the White Republican Christian hypocrite Pro-life husband).

I watched the 2 hours & 9 min version. That version seems to be more widely available than the shorter hour & a half version.

That flick is certainly a flat tire. Just platonic like a 80's and 90's movie.
