Why Black Creatives Feel That a Lot Is Riding on the Success of Rom-Com ‘You, Me & Tuscany’

Universal‘s new romantic comedy feature You, Me & Tuscany has a lot of people feeling that their future opportunities could be tied to its success — and not even those who have anything to do with the film.

Director Kat Coiro’s movie stars Halle Bailey as a chef who secretly starts living in a vacant Italian villa and develops feelings for the cousin (Regé-Jean Page) of the residence’s owner. The Hollywood Reporter’s review deemed the film an “appealing” escapist fantasy, and it is likely heading for a box office opening at just under $10 million.
