About the Production
Britt-Gibson tells PEOPLE of his inspiration for the film, “Growing up, too many movies I saw depicted weak women, wanting and needing to be saved by a man. Personally, I just don’t know weak women — in fact, women have saved my life.”
“So I set out to tell a story that put women, and specifically a powerful Black woman, in the lead,” he continues. “This film is my love letter to all of the beautiful, creative, resilient super-heroines who’ve shaped me along the way. I’m beyond excited to finally be able to share this sneak peek with the world.”
Says Edwards, “Before we started shooting, we had so many talks about style, tone, vision, and so many plans about how everything should look. But what’s beautiful about filmmaking is letting the movie show itself to you.”
“Just as in life, the moment you start planning, God starts laughing. I wanted to remember to have fun and enjoy the moment, take some time realize that each step of the process is a piece of my lifelong dream playing out,” adds the director. “Understanding that this story is bigger than an individual.”
“We had an obligation to do our best to tell this story authentically, and my goal was to do that in the most elegant way possible,” he adds. “I’m honored to be able to share a sneak peek into this love story. We need it now more than ever.”
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story breakout Thomas says, “It’s like pinching yourself and realizing, ‘Yes, you’re awake!’ ”
“We made this to share with people. It’s a love letter and it’s like the envelope has just been sent, now we wait for Sept. 27, when that letter gets delivered,” she tells PEOPLE.
