The official trailer of the upcoming film Children of Blood and Bone, co-written by the book’s author, Tomi Adeyemi, alongside director Gina Prince-Bythewood, has been released after an exclusive trailer launch event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
The story of Children of Blood and Bone is set in Orïsha, a kingdom where magic once flourished. The Maji, those born with magical abilities, faced brutal oppression after the king ordered the slaughter of their people and stripped magic from the land. The trailer offers a glimpse into Tomi Adeyemi’s fantasy novel, influenced by West African culture, that combines magic, oppression, and rebellion as it transitions into a screenplay.
The film adaptation set for release January 15, 2027, features a star-studded cast led by Thuso Mbedu as Zélie, alongside Damson Idris, Amandla Stenberg, Tosin Cole, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Regina King, Idris Elba, and Viola Davis.
