Upset over the 'Green Book' Oscar triumph? Jordan Peele might have the answer for you.
If you're like Spike Lee and felt underwhelmed by"Green Book" or angered over its best picture win Sunday night, fret not. Another story inspired by a travel guide for Jim Crow-era black road trippers is on the way to the screen.
"Lovecraft Country" is a horror drama that follows Atticus Black, his uncle George and Letitia Dandrige as they travel across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of Black's father. On their trek, the three must overcome racist terrors, but also terrifying monsters ripped straight from the pages of H.P. Lovecraft's prose.
"Green Book's" detractors say the movie pushes a"white savior" narrative. This is the notion that people of color can only succeed if a white person blazes the trail for them. Critics were quick to point out when the film was released that it was"a movie about racism, made by white people for white people," as Jenni Miller wrote in a review for NBC News.
