As Oscar buzz goes, few films have critics raving as much as ‘Judas And The Black Messiah.’

And, having been privy to an early screening of the movie ourselves, That Grape Juice is more than understanding of why.

Anchored by Daniel Kaluuya in the lead role, the gripping drama tells the life story of civil rights leader and Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton – 50 years after his assassination.

Following a release shuffle caused by the current global health crisis, the Shaka King production will hit theaters on February 12 and simultaneously stream on HBO Max for 31 days from then.

Aptly timed, given the burning spotlight on racial injustice, ‘Judas and the Black Messiah,’ features a star-studded cast toplined by the likes of Academy Award-nominee Kaluuya (as Hampton), Lakeith Stanfield (as his ‘Judas’ William O’Neal), Ashton Sanders, Algee Smith, Martin Sheen, and more.

Ryan Coogler (director of Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’) and Charles King serve as producers.

Ahead of its release, check out the freshly unleashed extended trailer below…

While the world felt the devastation of Chadwick Boseman‘s death last August, the grief struck more personal for his wife Simone Ledward. 

During his time in the spotlight, the late ‘Black Panther’ star guarded his private life with vigour.

It did emerge shortly before his passing, however, that he and Ledward – who had been dating for many years – tied the knot in 2019.

Still, said privacy continued following Boseman death – which was the result of a four-year battle with colon cancer that the actor kept under wraps from most.

Ledward broke her silence last night at the Gotham Awards, where she gave salute to her husband while accepting the Tribute Award in his memory.
