The original 2010 film was directed by the Hughes Brothers, and it revolved around a resilient drifter Eli, fighting his way across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic America while trying to deliver a sacred book that holds the secrets to humanity’s salvation to a safe location.

The film’s writer Gary Whitta would serve as creator, writer, and executive producer of the potential series, while its directors the Hughes Brothers would come on board as executive producers. They’d be joined by John Boyega, who’d also replace Washington in the lead role.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Deadline reports that the prequel series would most likely take place 30 years prior to the events depicted in the film, and it would most likely explore the nuclear catastrophe that led to the collapse of Eli’s world.

Alcon Entertainment will be taking this hot package to select premium buyers, and they’ll most likely sell it pretty soon given its star-driven nature.

The Freshening is based on Rachel Khong’s short story, originally published in the Paris Review, taking place in the near future where tensions over race and gender have reached a violet extreme.

To put a stop to it, the U.S. government creates an initiative called “the freshening”, forcing everyone to see others as the same race and gender as themselves. It all goes upside down when a new street drug emerges, allowing people to see the world for what it truly is.

Yan is producing the film alongside FilmNation Entertainment, Ali Wong, Ash Sarohia, Hyperobject Industries’ Adam McKay, and Betsy Koch and she’s thrilled to see Boyega joining them for this wild ride.

“It’s a dream to work with John Boyega, a singular talent whose commitment to his craft and willingness to take risks have delivered such memorable, wide-ranging performances. I know he’ll bring incredible depth and nuance to Reese,” said Yan in a statement.

Boyega is fresh from the success of The Woman King, and we’ll soon get to see him in the sci-fi comedy They Cloned Tyrone, also starring Teyonah Parris, Kiefer Sutherland, and Jamie Foxx.

The sequel is currently in early stages of development and plot details are being kept under wraps.

Attack the Block follows a teenage street gang led by Boyega’s Moses, that has to defend themselves against aliens.

When Boyega was cast in Attack the Block he was relatively unknown. Boyega is best known for the Star Wars sequel trilogy, in which he played ex-stormtrooper Finn.

The film was the directorial debut of Cornish, who later co-wrote Ant-Man and helmed The Kid Who Would Be King. Attack the Block flopped at the box office, but gained cult status.

Boyega posted the news on Instagram, saying he’s “bloody excited”.

“It’s been a decade since ‘Attack The Block’ was released and so much has changed since then,” Boyega said in a statement to Variety. “I’m excited to see this heightened story return to the streets of London. Moses has remained one of my favorite characters to play and bringing him back is a huge honor.”

This promising movie will focus on a Formula One racing prodigy who is forced to become a getaway driver to save the only family he has left. Gerard McMurray, who helmed one of Netflix’s very first feature films Burning Sands, is in charge of writing and directing the project.

John Boyega is currently attached to two more Netflix movies—the sci-fi comedy They Cloned Tyrone and action thriller, Rebel Ridge. Back in 2020, his production company UpperRoom Productions also signed a deal with this streaming giant to develop non-English language films.

Robert De Niro is also no stranger to working with Netflix. One of his most critically acclaimed films in recent memory, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, premiered on this streaming service back in 2019 and went on to receive 10 Academy Award nominations.

Boyega’s company was founded back in 2016, and he’s looking forward to this slate of new projects, that will shine a light on the rich heritage of several countries on the African continent.

“I am thrilled to partner with Netflix to develop a slate of non-English language feature films focused on African stories, and my team and I are excited to develop original material. We are proud to grow this arm of our business with a company that shares our vision,” said the actor in an official statement.

David Kosse, vice president of international film at Netflix, echoed Boyega’s statement and said they see this collaboration as an opportunity to bring unique African stories to viewers in Africa and around the world.

This intriguing project will take us back to the ‘60s London and trace the struggles of the West Indian community in this city all the way through the ‘80s. McQueen felt this is an important story to tell, and he’s looking forward to reliving, reevaluating and investigating the lives of people who inspired it.

“I think audiences will identify with the trials, tribulations and joy of our characters as well as reflecting on the present environment in which we find ourselves. The dynamic nature of the series allows us to confront injustice in the face of adversity,” said the 12 Years a Slave director in a statement.

Most people know Letitia Wright as Shuri from Black Panther, while her co-star John Boyega broke into the mainstream with the role of Finn in Star Wars movies. They are both winners of the BAFTA Rising Star Award.
