Author Tomi Adeyemi has reaffirmed her stance against the upcoming film adaptation of her 2018 fantasy novel "Children of Blood and Bone". She revealed that she will "never" permit her work to be turned into a movie and expressed no intention to view the film herself. Adeyemi's criticism of the adaptation process intensified after she posted a TikTok video in July, describing it as "the worst thing I have ever had to live through".
She claimed the filming experience left her "hyperventilating and sobbing" and alleged ongoing harassment and severe anxiety in the aftermath. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Adeyemi defended her decision to speak out, stating "I can't really worry about the response, because I don't have to live with how people respond to me – I have to live with me, every day".
The film, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and starring an all-star cast, is scheduled for release in the U.S. on January 15, 2027.
