Actress Moses Ingram, who has aroused racist ire and critical praise for playing the Third Sister in “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” will return to play a major role in her next streaming attraction. She will be the antagonist of Natalie Portman (“Thor”) in “Lady in the Lake”.
Ingram was chosen to replace Lupita Nyong’o (“Black Panther”), who left the project earlier this year, citing a scheduling conflict.
Currently in production, “Lady in the Lake” is the first series of Portman’s career and is based on Laura Lippman’s bestselling novel of the same name (“A Dark Past”), released in 2019.
Set in 1960s Baltimore, an unsolved murder leads housewife and mother Maddie Schwartz (Portman) to reinvent herself as an investigative reporter. Her new calling puts her on a collision course with Cleo Sherwood (Ingram), who juggles motherhood, multiple jobs and commitment to the city’s black progressive agenda.
The adaptation is directed by director Alma Har’el (“Honey Boy”), who also shares the script with a team that includes Boaz Yakin (“Trickster”) and Zach Shields (“Godzilla vs. Kong”).
Director Jean-Marc Vallée (“Little Big Lies”), who recently passed away, was also part of the original production, which will launch on Apple TV + in 2023.
