All the action appeared to revolve around a blue and silver car that's parked along the side of a street that has caught Washington's interest. The two-time Academy Award winner, 69, looks dapper in a blue three-piece suit that's matched with a white dress shirt and tie, blue sneakers, and cool dark sunglasses. Eventually, after making a short walk to the car, the actor gets into the back seat for a conversation with someone, which could be Wright, who was also shot in another scene getting out of the front driver's seat of that same vehicle.

One of two dates' 'vanishes' comes as a result of chaos after Number 10 branded it 'concerning.'

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 29, 2024
After one of the two dates vanished from its website, chaos has engulfed a turbulent West End play that is selling tickets for 'black-only' nights. Since announcing that it will have two performances aimed at an 'all-black-identifying audience' that is 'free from the white gaze,' the Slave Play, which will be hosted at the Noel Coward Theatre later this year, has come under fire. Producers, who claim to want to'increase accessibility to theatre,' announced that these performances would be held on July 17 and September 17, with tickets selling for as much as £125. However, the latter of these items has been taken down from the show's website, with potential buyers given no opportunity to buy tickets for a show on September 17, and no live performance has been recorded for this date. The show's makers have confirmed that they are now 'carefully considering' including the 'black out' nights as part of its operation,' and that "no one will be barred or barred from attending any performance.'

I'm shocked that any playwright would consider segregating theater audiences. According to INAYA FOLARIN IMAN, black people are perfectly comfortable going to the theater, we don't need special care to raise our interest

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 29, 2024
Slave Play addresses issues such as race and sexuality, as well as writers' description of 'how far we haven't come' since slavery was abolished in America in 1865. Kit Harington of Game of Thrones, as well as Denzel Washington's daughter Olivia, will be included in the London production in June at the Noel Coward Theatre. This isn't the first time Harris has pulled this off in the United Kingdom. His production of 'Daddy' at London's Almeida Theatre in 2022 - dubbed by one American critic as 'embarrassably bad' - also hosted 'black out' performances and attracted some brows in the Press for doing so, with one critic pointing out: 'By its very nature, [the activity] doesn't promote diversity.' However, if Harris' new intervention was purely another marketing tactic, it would have no doubt succeeded. "The Prime Minister believes that the arts should be inclusive and open to everyone," Rishi Sunak's official weighed in on the controversy yesterday. It would be inaccurate and divisive to restricting audiences based on race.'

Kit Harington is set to return to the West End in Tony-nominated Slave Play - as its writer Jeremy O'Hara slams celebrity casting for turning theatre into a 'Disney World attraction'

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 27, 2024
At the Noel Coward Theatre in London, the actor, 37, will appear alongside many of the original Broadway cast members.

The play will also return to the stage as it makes its West End debut, including Heartstopper's Fisayo Akinade, Brassic actor Aaron Hefferman, and the niece of Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington, Olivia. Despite the fact that his cast includes many screen actors, Euphoria producer Jeremy has stated that he is not a fan of celebrity casting because it could result in the theatre being regarded as a 'Disney World attraction.'

The casting of Denzel Washington as Hannibal in upcoming Netflix film sparks a racial controversy in Tunisia

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 12, 2023
Tunisian officials have been embroiled in a raging debate with Netflix after the streaming giant decided to cast Denzel Washington as Tunisian military leader Hannibal in a forthcoming blockbuster. The streaming giant is accused of making a potential'historic mistake' in casting Washington, the black man, as the ancient Carthaginian general, with historians still stumped about his ethnicity more than two decades after his reign. The outrage over the casting has also prompted an online petition calling for Tunisia's ministry of culture to 'take steps against the effort to steal our history.' The controversy in the African country comes months after nearby Egypt was also embroiled in the docudrama 'Cleopatra' controversy, which was accused of 'blackwashing' after recruiting a black actor to play the Macedonian-Greek empress.

Fans were left confused over a Netflix crime film starring Jared Leto, Rami Malek, and Denzel Washington, according to the Little Things ending

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 11, 2023
Fans have been left confused and irked by Netflix's's'silly' conclusion. People are already reacting to the thriller's all-star cast of Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto as the three main characters. As they search for a cunning serial killer, veteran police officer Joe 'Deke' Deacon (Denzel Washington) and newer detective Jim Baxter (Rami Malek) join them, with Albert Sparma (Jared Leto) as their prime suspect. The investigation takes a twisted turn as their personal differences begin to surface, with less emphasis on victims and murderers focusing less on victims and perpetrators than on the three guys' relationships with apparent innocence or guilt. Towards the ending, Jared Leto's Sparma convinces Baxter to accompany him to a desert, promising to lead him to the body of missing Rhonda Rathbun (Maya Kazan)
