'Origin' Movie Image: Jon Bernthal and Niecy Nash-Betts Get Emotional
The Big Picture First announced in 2020, news has been slowly trickling out surrounding Emmy and BAFTA winner Ava DuVernay’s latest star-studded feature film. In the past, the director brought Netflix the crushing documentary 13th as well as the four-part series, When They See Us. Now, she’s shifted her gaze to adapt Isabel Wilkerson’s 2020 New York Times bestselling non-fiction book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents for the big screen.
The image sees the two characters embracing during an emotionally charged moment. Not only are each of the actors playing out the gutting scene on their faces, but the background further drives home a hopeless feeling, with the fall or winter appearing to be in full swing as the trees in the background are bare, and the characters are bundled up.
In the book, Wilkerson broke down the caste system found within the United States, a broken structure molded by racism, hierarchy, and the flippant ways in which some are included while others are excluded. As a journalist, Wilkerson used examples of similar institutions through time including the caste systems of India and Nazi Germany.
At this time, Origin has not revealed a release window, but the title is set to celebrate its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in September. Check out the first look of Bernthal and Nash-Betts below.
