My man Steve James!!
Had to be a movie that never was or a promotional shot because I have seen ALOT of Steve James flicks and had a crush on Sybil Danning back in the day so I would've definitely noticed if those two were a couple in a flick. lol.
The relationship is actually really solid, as you might have guessed from the title the plot involves an inheritance, Lily's character and her father were not on the best terms at the time of his death, nothing to do with her relationship, but more to do with the fact that she took a job at the DA's office against her dad's wishes he wanted her to go be a wall street attorney. Anyway when he dies even though the relationship is strained she is still devastated and he is there to support her and this is all happening on the heels of her being named the lead prosecutor in a huge case. Anyway the will is read her brother gets 20 million she gets 1 million, her husband assumes this will upset her but she is not anyway that is not her only inheritance but the family lawyer takes her aside and gives her her secret one she finds a thumb drive and a key. This leads her to a secret bunker on the family estate in it she finds a man that her father had been kept prisoner for the last 30 years, he tells her that her secrets of about her dad and of course this takes a toll on her as these are things that she is not prepared for and her husband is there to notice this change in demeanor. Long story short her father felt she was the one that could clean up the whole situation she set the guy free but it turns the guy that was being kept prisoner turns out to be a very evil dude, he is responsible for the death of her dad, he also drugged and raped her mother 30 years ago and may or may not be Lily's biological father. In the end she and her mom end up in a confrontation with him in the bunker and ends up with him dead and them burning the bunker to the ground destroying all the evidence.

I think this movie is available on Apple iTunes now. I was considering it last weekend on Apple 4K.In the just released movie Inheritance Lily Collins is one of the main characters and in the movie her husband is played by Marque Richardson, in the trailer you can see that they also have a daughter.
The movie is actually pretty good, but if you are watching it for the IR you are going to be kinda disappointed their relationship is not too central to the plot, he is the loving supportive husband

TPTB likely strategically crafted the trailer for mass marketing you think?

That connection was likely why he was brought onboard in the first place as a replacement for Jason Mitchell. Mitchell was fired in the early weeks of shooting and brought the making of the movie to a temporary halt because he was allegedly being a creep by harassing the female leads, including Pedrad. It has been seen as kind of the last straw for Mitchell 's career thus far.

I'm happy for the change. I like Lamont. Mitchell seems a bit off.

Lamont & Nasim have very good chemistry as well. So he was a great second choice.

Yeah Jason Mitchell always seemed like an odd casting choice. Also I'm shocked Nasim Pedrad is the lead character. I assumed Anna Camp was gonna be the lead (or it was a true ensemble) when I read the casting news last year.

She might have produced this. I remember her saying she was working with him again many many months ago on her instagram and I think lamont mentioned it on his, too.

Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington to Star in Netflix Thriller 'Leave The World Behind'
Netflix has a come out on top of a hot bidding war that will see Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington reunite for the first time since 1993’s The Pelican Brief.
The streaming giant has landed Leave the World Behind, an upcoming novel by Rumaan Alam, with Sam Esmail, the creator of Mr. Robot and Homecoming, set to write the adaptation and direct it. Roberts and Washington are attached to star.
The novel will be published this fall by HarperCollins imprint Ecco. It follows a husband and wife as they head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation with their teenage son and daughter. When the owners of the rental return in a panic one night after they say a sudden blackout has swept through the city, the couple aren't sure what to believe. With the TV and internet down and no cell service, the two families are forced into a tense living situation. Themes dealing with race, class, and parenthood are tackled.
Esmail had a strong relationship with Roberts after working together on series Homecoming. And Roberts, once piqued, sent the book to Washington.
Several major studio and streamers put in bids for the package, with it coming down to Netflix, Apple and MGM, each of which have spent the past several weeks vying for splashy packages, including Will Smith starrer Emancipation and George Miller's latest Three Thousand Years of Longing.
Netflix ultimately prevailed for Leave The World Behind, with sources saying that the deal is approaching the financial numbers in the range similar to Apple’s deal for Emancipation, which was over $100 million.
