Whoopi Goldberg used the opening of her newest film as a backdrop for a sentimental tribute to her fellow collaborator. She threw a social media party in his honor, with the film currently streaming on Prime Video. Atrabilious is breathtaking in its aesthetics: the poster presents this collage of striking characters against a brightly saturated backdrop, instantly invoking the kind of dramatic story that is about to be told.

The post sounded very proud; she thanked Will from River Styx Productions and implied that this might be the beginning of a much deeper collaborative journey. “I had a great time working on this film. I know this is the first of many. I’m proud of you and this movie.” With this enthusiasm, people went rushing to their watchlist.

Reaction came instantly. One from the West couldn’t contain his excitement and shrieked in shorthand to add it to his queue, followed up by another stating it was a must-watch and giving the fullest accolades. Another fan then declared love for the work of one of the stars of the movie, Jeffrey Wright.

There were, however, less positive comments. One retort by a viewer breezed by, something on the lines of “Is this poster design bad/fake?” Another came out outright with “Looking AI generated!” However, the general vibe wasn’t overshadowed by such criticisms, as it was mostly anticipation and cheering.

If the fam discussion among the film buffs was long, it turned out even longer with glances from NY: Joy Behar had recently said something about Denzel Washington on The View. The harsh assessment accused Behar of being disrespectful and would hold ABC to account for it, calling her remarks “venom cloaked in humor.” It was an unexpected intermission but showed how Goldberg’s page is often used as a podium for bigger discussions.

International fans kept on from Scotland to Italy, with another admirer watching “Sister Act” for another time. The love flows for Goldberg’s art, transcending generations and borders.

With the film now streaming, the buzz is placed firmly on the worthy-to-see pile: Was it for acting, for drama, or just to back Goldberg’s latest venture? The audiences are ready to press play! And if What she said is to be believed, this will be far from the last film coming out under the Goldberg-Will banner. More projects, more pride, and hopefully some more career-defining roles to come.
