for a villain, I was thinking there would be a big reveal and that the man that she has always considered her spiritual advisor, her longtime pastor, is actually an evil sorcerer that has been pretending to be a pastor in order to watch over Christine’s character life (I would cast Dennis Haybert for this)OKAY!!!
seeing as y’all responded well to the last one with a slight plot and casting….lemme keep it up.
30-something year old successful tv producer [insert name] has it all but when she gets a mysterious invitation to her biological mother’s funeral, she learns more than she bargained for and finds out that she was born in to a line of powerful Voodoo priestesses. Brushing it all off as crazy information she heard from confused and distraught family members of her late biological mother….she resumes her routine, that is…until her new powers start to manifest themselves in unexpected ways.
will she manage to balance the modern world and the spiritual one? is the reason she was given up for adoption in the first place due to her mother trying to protect her from evil forces that have always been at odds with the priestesses’?
A FANTASY ROMANTIC COMEDY STARRING
Christine Adams as the lead
with Diahann Carroll playing her late biological mother/the last Voodoo priestess
Voodoo/Vodun, any variation of the spiritual practice is more often that not discredited and written off as something wicked and evil for simply being a faith based in African tradition, I think there is room to celebrate this form of spirituality whilst respecting the origin but also exploring the fantasy genre and I honestly think this can only be done with an ALL Black production that has access to well funded resources (I mean hello Black Panther only popped severely because it was money behind Black genius) and speaking of Black Panther, I think there is room to have deep social commentary in a movie like this because
for a villain, I was thinking there would be a big reveal and we would find out that the man that she has always considered her spiritual advisor, her longtime pastor, is actually an evil warlock that has been pretending to be a pastor in order to watch over Christine’s character life (I would cast Dennis Haysbert for this)
so there could be hella shit to unpack in terms of Black people and religion and is organised faith something that serves us or something that hinders us
