Movies with BM/WW Couples

[darkcurry]

It's a supernatural horror film from 2019 called "Countdown":

Looks like Jordan Calloway (The brotha who plays Khalil Payne/Painkiller on "Black Lightning") is the love interest for the female lead.

Interesting. I'm getting a mix of final destination, ouija & truth or dare vibes.

Things To Keep A Close Eye On but As of Right Now Can't Confirm Anything:

Mentioning Wayans again as promised. He may have IR hookups in two other upcoming movies: "Long Weekend" and "Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar". Don't know enough specifics about his characters in either one to declare anything other than that if he is involved in IR it will only be as a supporting character, not a lead.

Rhenzy Feliz of 'Runaways" fame has been cast alongside Auli'i Cravalho in "Sorta Like a Rock Star". The breakdown goes:

A teenage girl who, despite her difficult circumstances, is preternaturally optimistic about the world and her place in it and often helps those around her faces a devastating loss and can no longer ignore the challenges in her own life.

No confirmation that Feliz plays her love interest at this moment but some sites have him as her co-lead and since they are around the same age its possible that there could be a relationship between them. If I get updated info that confirms these possibilities I will give them their separate postings.

I don't think anyone ever posted the trailer for this 2020 Netflix "All Together Now":

Amber Appleton (Auli’i Cravalho) remains an optimist even when her personal life is far less stable than it appears on the surface. A musically gifted high school student with aspirations to attend Carnegie Mellon, Amber balances work, life, and some tough life secrets with a smile. But when new obstacles present themselves that threaten her dreams, Amber must learn to lean on the strength of her chosen family to move forward. Directed by Brett Haley (All The Bright Places, Hearts Beat Loud) and based on Matthew Quick’s novel “Sorta Like a Rock Star,” ALL TOGETHER NOW is on Netflix August 28.

Friends Jake and Quinn, played by Jordan Fisher and Sabrina Carpenter, fall in love unexpectedly in the new Netflix dance-themed movie, Work It.

I don't think anybody ever posted the trailer for "Work It":

Dance to your own beat. Watch Work It on Netflix August 7.

When Quinn Ackerman’s admission to the college of her dreams depends on her performance at a dance competition, she forms a ragtag group of dancers to take on the best squad in school...now she just needs to learn how to dance. Starring Sabrina Carpenter, Liza Koshy, Keiynan Lonsdale, Drew Ray Tanner, with Michelle Buteau and Jordan Fisher.

WHAT . . . WE . . . FOUND

Definitely influenced by the Duffer Brothers in my analysis. Watching it a second time before my 48 hour rental expires. Stars "Juliet" from ABC's "Lost" and Ziggy from HBO's "The Wire" but the leading roles feature the teens who like Netflix's "Stranger Things" are age appropriate. I would post a trailer but can't so just trust me "What We Found" is an independent sleeper hit of September 2020!!

EDIT: Watch it in the dark because there are some kick ass night scenes and the director makes excellent use of natural light throughout the film. I keep rewinding this mother father movie lol as the night scenes are so dramatic!!

WHAT WE FOUND - Trailer

"Tensions run high in a community when a well-liked high school girl suddenly and mysteriously disappears."

(recommended by @Young Herschel )

Just finished this movie and there has NEVER been such an IR twist in the final scene I have to believe. I was about to post one thing right . . . then I kept on watching and I loved it

I don't want to post any spoilers so I will refrain from revealing anymore info. Just give "What We Found" a rental . . . its worth $5 for 48 hours honestly & easily. A different level of movie for FreeStyle Digital Media

It's hard to grasp from the complex trailer and the general plot. I'll probably check it out some time. What genre would you put it in? Drama, Horror, Thriller?

Ok, I saw the preview and thought they where going to have the older black guy as some abusive BF with him banging on the door, so I wasn't going watch it, but from your review I'll give it a shot tonight.

Coming of Age Drama like "Everything Sucks" on Netflix but an
overarching Thriller/Mystery like "Stranger Things" sans the Stephen Spielberg & Stephen King elements

. . . because its dangerous enough for adolescents in Baltimore, MD today so no need for added artificial Sci-FI threats from the 1980's.

Watching "What We Found" right now. Weird that they have 1 group of teens that are being played by young adults & another group of teens that legit look like middle schoolers who haven't gone through puberty yet.

This is from the same people that produced those other popular romantic movies on netflix. I still like CandyJar better than the rest of these YA romantic comedy movies so far.

According to reelgood.com & justwatch.com, "What We Found" isn't available on any of the legal free & subscription streaming apps/websites. You gotta buy or rent the film digitally.

Me personally, I downloaded a pirated copy.

Love, Guaranteed

Damon Wayans, Jr.
Rachael Leigh Cook

New Netflix romantic comedy in the works.

Rachael Leigh Cook, who is fondly remembered for her role in the classic teen drama, She’s All That, is set to star alongside Damon Wayans Jr. in Love, Guaranteed, the Netflix original film which Cook is also producing. Mark Steven Johnson is directing from source material by Cook...

The story centers on an earnest, hard-working lawyer Susan (Cook) who has taken one too many pro bono cases. To save her small law firm, Susan begrudgingly takes a high-paying, high-profile case from Nick (Wayans Jr.), a charming new client who wants to sue a dating website that guarantees users will find love. But Susan and Nick soon find themselves in the middle of a media storm, and as the case heats up, so do their feelings for each other — which could jeopardize everything.

Yeah, sounds like a typical corny Netflix rom-com, but whatever. Cook is one of the producers of the movie and it makes me wonder if she had a say in Wayans' casting. If so it's another example of this type of IR being a greater likelihood when white women are more in control of the wheel.

As for Wayans he seems to be a go-to guy for onscreen IR representation involving bm/ww, ever since his days on "Happy Endings." When it comes to such IR let's call him the Common of rom-com. More on him later.

This movie is far beyond ridiculous and unrealistic. And I have watched it multiple times LOL.

Life in a Year Official Trailer (2020) Jaden Smith, Cara Delevingne

will stream on Amazon Prime Video November 27th. (via @SilverSmith )

Watching "Life in a Year" right now. Interesting they went the same route as the "Cloak & Dagger" tv show where the black dude is from a upper middle class family, while the white chick is poor.


EDIT:

Just watched the big reveal scene during the 28-29 minute mark. The class difference between them is kinda of an afterthought now.

Werewolves Within - Official Movie Trailer (2021) Milana Vayntrub, Sam Richardson

Usually horror-comedies are more of a miss than a hit, but Sam and Milana are funny and the trailer looks promising.

Nice! I was going to post this a couple weeks ago, but I wasn't sure if there was actually a WWBM angle or not. Are you able to confirm?

Edit: One more thing! My fave werewolf movie of all time (An American Werewolf in London) was an excellent horror comedy, actually establishing the subgenre.

It's subtle but just pay attention to the bar scene and Sam's voiceover. I don't think they're going to be in big romance because it's not that type of film but the trailer hints at a date and a connection between the two.

Yeah I picked up on that. Just didn't want get anybody's hopes up since I wasn't sure they'd follow through.

I was seeing some clips from the movie Mean Girls and while this movie is very white and there isn't no BM/WW couple there for sure, i still could see some BM/WW nods there, nothing really impressive, but still.
Like this scene

Lindsey's character came from Africa and she had a short flashback about when she was a kid and had a crush on this black cute boy who rejected her.
And this other scene with Tina Fey who play a divorced teacher. The principal guy from the high school was a black attractive man and i feel like he had a crush on Tina's character but she downplayed it or didn't got much attention because her character just got a divorce and the movie narrative was more about the young cast. It's just a case of IF happened or
ALMOST storyline.

I remember the Tina Fey part. The principal was played by Tim Meadows from SNL (he also played The Ladies Man). He hit on her but she brushed it off because of her recent divorce. It was reasonably funny f I remember correctly.

As for Miss Lohan, didn't she turn out to be racist? Or am I thinking of Paris Hilton?
