REPOST @wilsonmoralesfilm beyond excited to reunite and celebrate with this amazing film family this weekend! So many projects being released this year but this one holds a special place in Lathan’s heart. To be entrusted with this role and bringing it to life gave Lathan so much confidence and passion to continue on this acting journey.
Forever grateful to everyone involved in such a spectacular project, the words thank you will never be enough ❤️ the slide battles on set with @edwinlicomedy , the dance battles with @tiberiusbyrd and @being_kaden , the fashion chats with @missbettina , sweet moments and cuddles with @sibongile the hangout sessions and photo ops with @furlymac and @rafisodope and “wolfie” who she fights with her brother about and can’t sleep without because it reminds her of @tothosewhowaite soooo many memories she wants to relive over and over the way she talks about them constantly 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Premiere is tonight! Can’t wait to see everyone.
🗣️ It’s Time! Tune in today to see Lathan Ava join the cast of @themorningshow on @appletv
We love this show so this was a great booking for her and the role that made her fall in love with being on set. Such an honor to work under the direction of the incredible @mimileder and work with my show “mom & dad” @alanomiller and @nicolebeharie
Fun fact: This was the job I finally became a must join and joined @sag while on set 😄
The Sight Unseen Premiere was a night to remember 🎬🍿400 seats, sold out and the energy and atmosphere was incredible. So grateful to be apart of this project. We’re always so happy to reunite with cast and crew again 🫶🏾
First look at Lathan Ava in “Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People?”
Via @deadline
Cult Japanese director Shinya Tsukamoto has unveiled first images and more details for his long-gestated, English-language debut Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People? starring Rodney Hicks and Oscar-winning actor Geoffrey Rush.
Broadway star Hicks appears in his first big screen lead role as real-life, late African American Vietnam War veteran Allen Nelson who returned from the conflict with the severe PTSD, winding up on the streets before crossing paths with Dr. Daniels (Rush) from the Veterans Affairs who set about trying to save him.
Tatyana Ali (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) plays Nelson’s wife, while big screen newcomer Mark Merphy, plays the young Allen Nelson in flashbacks.
This cross-border production, shot on location in the U.S., Thailand, Vietnam and Japan, follows in the wake of Tsukamoto’s war-themed, Japanese-language films Fires On The Plain (2014), and Shadow Of Fire (2023). The director broke out with cult classic Tetsuo: The Iron Man(1989), with other films including Killing which competed in Venice in 2018.
Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People? is produced and distributed by Kinoshita Group’s production and distribution company Kino Films, which scored the best international box office for Oscar-nominated drama Conclave in 2025 with a $7.87 million gross and is now gearing up to launch Michael Jackson biopic Michael in June.
The announcement is timed to coincide with National Vietnam War Veterans Day in the U.S. on March 29.
To celebrate @phillies opening day! This commercial was an entire party to film, a full day of fun. Hands down one of the most fun commercials she’s ever shot! It’s been an honor to shoot the last 2 @visitpa campaigns. We love Pennsylvania 🫶🏾
While things are insanely slow in the industry right now and Lathan is missing the opportunity to perform, we’re happy to have the opportunity to celebrate her work in so many projects last year. Looking forward to seeing the cast and crew next month for the premiere of “The Sight Unseen” @thesightunseen1971
