Letitia Wright was introduced to international audiences in Black Panther as Shuri, the tech genius sister of T’Challa, and has mostly been talked about as a possible replacement holder of the titular superhero mantle. However, she’s now coming under fire for tweeting a link to an anti-vax YouTube video questioning the veracity of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The video in question was posted by On the Table, a self-styled “controversial” series discussing various social issues, in which host Tomi Arayomi lays out his skepticism of the vaccine’s legitimacy and ultimate expediency. Since Wright shared it with no additional comment, it was taken as her tacit agreement with its content, to which many people took exception, as you can see below.
Antivax isn't an option. It's sheer stupidity.

Think the vaccine stuff they could have gotten away with by saying she has questions & blah blah.

Alex Sawyer (Get Shorty) has been cast in the upcoming third season of period drama series Harlots on Hulu. Set against the backdrop of 18th century Georgian London, Harlots continues to follow the fortunes of the Wells family. The series hails from the creative team of Moira Buffini, Alison Newman, Alison Owen, Debra Hayward and Alison Carpenter. Sawyer will play Jack Lively, the star of North’s boxing-tour. He was a dolly-boy (a child-servant) in a rich man’s house until he was thirteen, acting as a playmate for a white family’s children. Ever since, Jack’s gone from job to job, that is until North (Danny Sapani) spotted his fighting potential. Jack has a deep understanding of society-types, and of how they treat people like him as an outsider. He is highly educated and politically motivated, more likely to respond to racism with an erudite come-back than to resort to his prize-winning fists.

Recurring in season two are Felicity Huffman, Isaac Keys, Steven Weber, Andrew Leeds, Amy Seimetz, Sonya Walger, and Alex Sawyer.

[Note: With the film finally released on DVD here in the UK (the Us release was over a year ago), here’s a reposting of our review of Fox Trap, now retitled Don’t Blink for its UK debut]
After a cruel prank goes wrong on prom night leaving a young girl disabled, the group go their separate ways and try to leave the incident in the past. Eight years later the group are invited to a country side manor for a reunion. Things may seem strange at first, but as the night goes on they realise they can’t escape the past and find themselves at the mercy of a masked killer out for revenge.
Don’t Blink manages to recreate the classic slasher genre for a modern audience, although it still maintains the characterises and formula which made the revenge slashers films of the 80’s so popular.

Film producer screens some footage and solicits feedback. “It’s — not good,” is the first response. “Well, we’re all in agreement on that pretty much,” is the reply as said producer plunges his face into his hands.
Here’s the first trailer for Season 2 of Get Shorty, Epix’s dark comedy based on Elmore Leonard’s novel and the 1995 Barry Sonnenfeld movie. The sophomore logline: Miles Daly (Chris O’Dowd) struggles to reconcile his ambitions as a filmmaker and a family man with his skill set as a career criminal. His progress in Hollywood is jeopardized when the washed-up producer (Ray Romano) with whom he partnered in Season 1, agrees to wear a federal wire. Miles faces off with criminal financiers and with a Hollywood power-broker who could be the most dangerous of all.
