John Boyega and Cathy Yan collab INCOMING with The Freshening
John Boyega To Star In Sci-Fi ‘The Freshening’ For ‘Birds Of Prey’ Director Cathy Yan; FilmNation, Ali Wong & Adam McKay Producing https://t.co/Dq6FS4Jite
- Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) March 7, 2023
The project is inspired by Rachel Khong’s short story in the Paris Review, which was set in a near future where tensions over race and gender have reached a violent extreme and the U.S. government institutes a public health initiative known as ‘The Freshening’: every American receives an injection, after which everyone only sees others as the same race and gender as themselves.
Star Wars "lead" Boyega is coming off The Woman King and is in post on Netflix pic They Cloned Tyrone with Jamie Foxx, Kiefer Sutherland and Teyonah Parris.
Cathy Yan made "Birds of Prey" for DC, and will, unfortunately, probably not make another.
