Kerry Washington’s ‘Shadow Force’ Set to Premiere in India This May

The story follows Kyrah and Isaac Sarr, former members of a covert international assassin group called “Shadow Force.” After breaking protocol by falling in love and leaving the unit to start a family, they are forced to flee with a $25 million bounty on their heads.
The film features a powerful ensemble cast, including Omar Sy (Lupin, The Intouchables), Mark Strong (1917, Kingsman: The Secret Service), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers, Dolemite Is My Name), Cliff “Method Man” Smith (Power Book II: Ghost, Godfather of Harlem), and Jahleel Kamara (Rise, Nanny).
Pilar Savone, Washington’s producing partner at Simpson Street, expressed that casting her was an obvious choice. “Her entire team loved the story and wanted to see her as this fierce, strong action star. She’s been a badass since Olivia Pope in Scandal, but now she’s stepping into an action hero role.”
Washington last appeared in an action film in 2005’s “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” She reflected, “I had a blast on that film, and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do if the opportunity arose.” Yet, it wasn’t just the chance to play a strong character that drew her to this role; it was the film’s themes that deeply resonated with her artistic mission.
“I’ve explored the value of Black life and the vulnerabilities of Black parenting, especially Black motherhood. So, it struck me how wonderful it is that this film focuses on protecting and saving a Black boy,” she concluded.

From studio collaborations to sharing life’s significant moments, Demi and Jordan have forged a strong bond since meeting in January 2022 during the recording of Demi’s song “Substance.” By August of that year, they went public with their relationship on Instagram, and their connection has only deepened since then.

French Actor Theo Navarro-Mussy Excluded from Red Carpet Due to Rape Allegations

Navarro-Mussy plays a supporting role in ‘Dossier 137’, directed by César Award-winning filmmaker Dominik Moll, which is set against the backdrop of France’s Yellow Vest protests. However, it’s the controversy surrounding his past that is drawing attention rather than his performance.
The exclusion decision was confirmed mere hours before the film’s debut at the Palais theater. Producers Caroline Benjo and Carole Scotta of Haut et Court released a joint statement highlighting that, although the allegations predate the film’s production, they felt it was necessary to act in “respect for the plaintiffs and the victims’ word.”
Festival director Thierry Frémaux had previously discussed the situation with the team prior to the festival’s opening. As reported by ‘Télérama’, the decision was made quietly but decisively: Navarro-Mussy would not participate in promotional events or walk the red carpet with the cast.
Reports indicate that Navarro-Mussy faces accusations from three women alleging rape and physical violence occurring between 2018 and 2020.

The claims are serious, and while legal proceedings are ongoing, the festival and the film’s supporters have made it clear they will not wait for a verdict to take a stance.
This situation is notable as it marks the first known instance of Cannes banning an actor due to assault allegations. This decision indicates a broader shift in the film industry, where institutions are increasingly pressured to address such matters seriously.
This year, Cannes introduced a new clause in its selection guidelines aimed at ensuring the safety and dignity of everyone involved in producing films screened at the festival.
As for ‘Dossier 137’, the film remains focused on its narrative, which centers on a profound investigation into a protester’s injury by a police flash-ball grenade. Léa Drucker stars as Stephanie, the lead investigator, in what many critics are labeling one of the festival’s most relevant and politically charged films.
Featuring a cast that includes Jonathan Turnbull, Mathilde Roehrich, Guslagie Malanda, and Stanislas Merhar, the film explores the intricate themes of accountability, power, and state violence—issues that resonate deeply with the ongoing off-screen controversy.
