Is Antebellum based on a true story? Now on Sky Cinema – SPOILERS
Is Antebellum based on a true story? Let’s consider the inspiration behind the 2020 movie starring Janelle Monáe, now available on Sky Cinema.
Back when the trailers dropped for Antebellum, many audiences were anticipating a horror film dealing with themes of race and slavery.
However, the film audiences received when it initially released in September 2020 arguably wasn’t a horror movie at all. It certainly incorporates elements which horrify, but the genre elements teased in the trailer came across rather differently in the final film.
Written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, the project serves as the pair’s directorial feature debut and stars Janelle Monáe in the central role of Veronica Henley/Eden. She finds herself trapped by Confederate soldiers at a Southern slave plantation, but nothing is as it seems.
