Morning Brew – Alycia Debnam-Carey fends off an obsessive woman in “Friend Request”

Good morning! If it’s Super Tuesday for you, please go out and vote. (And not for Donald Trump.)

Alycia Debnam-Carey is starring in a new horror film called Friend Request, about an obsessive friendship. It looks like an even darker version of Single White Female or The Roommate! It premieres April 22 in the UK.

Speaking of Alycia, new images and a trailer from Season 2 of Fear the Walking Dead are out, too.

Fran Lebowitz and Mickalene Thomas are both featured in Interview this month. Here’s Mickalene on her new work inspired by The Color Purple:

I started reading The Color Purple again and thinking about what scenes were very profound and represented pivotal moments where the characters really transformed. For me, that was the relationship between Celie and Shug Avery-how Celie saw the potential of herself through someone else and how that relationship gave her strength, how she learned of her own beauty by Shug holding a mirror up to her face and saying, “Look at yourself and understand your beauty.” Then this love affair developed between the two, a love affair of two women who admired each other for their differences, strengths, creativity, and talent. They persevered in their own way. What Shug did for Celie, Celie did for Shug in a whole different way.
