‘Spider-Man’ Spinoff: Silver Sable, Black Cat Movie Finds Director
Gina Prince-Bythewood, who wrote and directed The Secret Life of Bees, will direct Silver and Black, Sony’s Spider-Man offshoot that centers on characters Silver Sable and the Black Cat.
Silver Sable, created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz in 1985, is a mercenary who runs a company that hunts war criminals. The character has been both antagonist and ally to Spider-Man.
Black Cat, an acrobatic cat burglar whose real name is Felicia Hardy, has a long and tangled romantic history with Spider-Man in the comics. The character was cut from scripts for the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, and a “Felicia Hardy” (played by Felicity Jones) briefly appeared in Amazing Spider-Man 2, though no Black Cat connection was ever made explicit.
Note: This deal will make Prince-Bythewood the first black woman to direct a superhero movie, the second woman of colour (following Lexi Alexander) and the 4th woman overall to direct a live-action superhero feature film following Lexi Alexander, Patty Jenkins and Anna Boden (co-directing with Ryan Fleck).

MichaelaCoel
Write the tale that scares you, that makes you feel uncertain, that isn’t comfortable,
I dare you
In a world that entices us to browse through the lives of others
To help us better determine how we feel about ourselves, and to in turn feel the need to be
Constantly visible, for visibility these days seems to somehow equate to success…
Do not be afraid to disappear from it,
From us for a while,
And see what comes to you in the silence.
I dedicate this story to every single survivor of sexual assault

to celebrate black history month i’d like to bring some light to this film, black girl (1966)
this true story was made as a film in 1966 by
Ousmane Sembène, and is thought to be the first saharan african film made by and african director to get international attention. above is featured Mbissine Thérèse Diop playing the role of a french made working for a white couple and dealing with the hardships of being a black woman in 60s france.
F. Gary Gray is a film director with an impressive body of work. From Straight Outta Compton, to the music video for “Ms. Jackson” by Outkast, Gray does an amazing job of channeling emotion through film. Take a look at some of the familiar scenes he’s directed.
