Pics of the Day

Netflix has today dropped the first batch of photos of Colman Domingo & Co in Rustin, the biopic of the gay black civil rights icon Bayard Rustin coming at us from Ma Rainey director George C. Wolfe in November. Anyone who's known the legacy and import of Bayard Rustin has known this biopic day would eventually come -- it took its damn time getting here but I'm kind of happy it did because I can't imagine anybody else I'd want in the role besides Colman. And coming from me, who could give a shit about Oscar talk, that's some good vibes all on their that are own attached to Domingo -- ones that will surely make a difference in the Best Actor race this year. He's earned this showcase after wowing in Rainey and Zola (ZOLA!!!) and Beale Street and basically everything he's acted in for the past several years, and sight unseen I imagine his name is on everybody's prediction lists already. Anyway these photos are all very "Netflix Aesthetic" (which isn't a compliment) so hopefully the film itself be more interesting to look at than these flat stills are, but Colman will keep me coming either way. Also in the cast: Chris Rock, CCH Pounder, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Bill Irwin, Jeffrey Wright, Audra McDonald, and a ton more. Hit the jump for the rest of the photos...
