Big news for Rebecca Hall!

It has been reported that Netflix is nearing a $16 million deal to buy the 38-year-old actress’ directorial debut movie Passing, according to Deadline.

The movie, which stars Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga, made headlines as one of the best movies to premiere during the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

Here’s the synopsis for Passing: “Set amid the Harlem Renaissance, Irene (Thompson) and Clare (Negga) are two mixed race women, and childhood friends, who reunite in their adulthood, discovering that they now live on two different sides of the color line, with Clare ‘passing’ as white. As the two women’s lives become more intertwined, the narrative turns inward, giving a look into the complicated nature of racial identity and how we’re all are impacted by how the world sees us.”

André Holland, Alexander Skarsgård and Bill Camp also star in Passing, which is based on the 1929 novella written by Nella Larsen.

As of right now, Passing does not have a release date.

Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga are heading back to the 1920s for their new movie!

The co-stars sported old timey costumes as they filmed scenes for their upcoming Rebecca Hall-directed thriller Passing on Wednesday afternoon (November 6) in New York City.

Passing follows “the unexpected reunion of two high school friends, whose renewed acquaintance ignites a mutual obsession that threatens both of their carefully constructed realities.”

The story also explores the practice of racial passing, which is when a person classified as a member of one racial group who seeks to be accepted by a different racial group.

Brad Pitt is all smiles as he poses for photographs at the photo call for his upcoming film Ad Astra held during the 2019 Venice Film Festival at Sala Grande on Thursday (August 29) in Venice, Italy.

The 55-year-old actor and producer was joined by his co-stars Liv Tyler and Ruth Negga, as well as the film’s director James Gray.

Here’s a synopsis: Astronaut Roy McBride (Pitt) travels to the outer edges of the solar system to find his missing father and unravel a mystery that threatens the survival of our planet. His journey will uncover secrets that challenge the nature of human existence and our place in the cosmos.

“In retrospect, what James and I were digging at was that definition of masculinity,” Brad Pitt said at the press conference (via Variety). “We’ve both grown up in an era where we were asked to be strong…and there is a value in that, but [also a] barrier because you’re hiding some of those things you feel ashamed of. We all hide and carry individual pain and wounds.”

“We were asking the questions – is there a better definition [of masculinity] for us… a better relationship with loved ones, with your kids and with ourselves?,” Brad continued, adding that he and James Gray didn’t have a “normal male relationship” because they were “open about sharing feelings, perceived failures or missteps” with each other.

Brad also said Ad Astra was “one of the most challenging films I’ve ever worked on. The story is so delicate and we knew that any clips, voiceover could tip the film over, make it too obvious, so it was a constant effort to try to maintain a balance and keep this story unfolding in a very subtle and delicate way.”

Ad Astra, is expected to premiere at the festival later in the day. Click here to watch the trailer!

Ruth Negga is chic and sophisticated while striking a pose at the 2019 Franca Sozzani Award Ceremony held at the Belmond Cipriani Hotel on Tuesday (August 27) in Venice, Italy.

The 37-year-old Preacher actress was joined at the event by Colin Firth and his wife Livia Firth, Rupert Everett and Iman who was honored with the Franca Sozzani Award.

The Franca Sozzani Award was established by the family of the late Vogue Italia editor in chief Franca Sozzani. The award honors women for their artistic careers as well as their social commitment.

“Iman’s work has disrupted the fashion industry in a way similar to Franca’s: bold, innovative and inclusive,” Sozzani‘s son, photographer and film director Francesco Carrozzini told WWD. “Using her platform to the best of its potential, Iman’s work from lobbying the CFDA for an increase of diversity on the runway to impactful humanitarian work, displays her true passion and focus. We are truly honored for her to accept the Franca Sozzani Award.”

In addition to celebrating Iman, the award also marks the beginning of The Franca Sozzani Fund for Preventive Genomics at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital at Harvard.

FYI: Iman is wearing a Valentino gown paired with Chopard jewelry.
