Children of Blood and Bone Trailer Showcases Movie’s Soundtrack
We also see more of Thuso Mbedu as the magical Zelie
We have another trailer for the feature adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone, which gives us a better look at the feel of the film, including the four characters who aim to restore magic to their land.
Here’s the official synopsis:
In the epic fantasy world of Orïsha, a young woman goes on a quest to reclaim the magic that was violently stolen from her people. She and her brother ally with the daughter and son of the king to fight back against his brutal rule.
The trailer also features part of the soundtrack created for the film, specifically “African Love Song” by Tems. Along with the trailer, Paramount announced otherartists on the movie’s soundtrack, including Burna Boy, Fireboy DML, BNXM, Kold AF, Ayra Starr, Obongjayar, Moelogo, Daecolm, Pa Salieu, Show Dem Camp, and Moonchild Sanelly.
The Blood and Bone adaptation has been years in the making, moving from Disney/Lucasfilm to Paramount. The film that will make its way to the big screen early next year comes from Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King, The Old Guard), who directed the film and co-wrote the script with Adeyemi. (In recent weeks, Adeyemi has distanced herself from the film, but is still credited as the movie’s co-writer and executive producer.)
The movie also has a stellar cast, including Thuso Mbedu, Damson Idris, Amandla Stenberg, Tosin Cole, Cynthia Erivo, Lashana Lynch, Zackary Momoh, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Regina King, Idris Elba, and Viola Davis.
Children of Blood and Bone premieres in theaters, including IMAX, on January 15, 2027.
