Gina Prince-Bythewood revealed the journey to set was sometimes “treacherous”

Filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood talked about the film, which is an adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi‘s novel of the same name, during the event. She revealed the journey to some of the sets was “treacherous.”

Find out why Tomi Adeyemi says she “will not watch” the film adaptation and allegedly blocked the film’s star, Amandla Stenberg.

“I gave a heads up that there were some sets that were a three, four hour drive and then a half-hour walk along treacherous things,” she shared, via People.

Filming took place in South Africa and the Canary Islands during 2025. Gina said she didn’t want the actors to be “surrounded by green screens.”

“I wanted to give the actors this 360 degree world to play in,” she added.

“The conversations that we had were just really beautiful because we’re creating a fantasy world,” the director continued. “How do we make magic feel cultural?”

Children of Blood and Bone will hit theaters, Dolby Cinema, IMAX, and premium large formats on January 15, 2027.
