About the Project: Mahershala Ali Reunites with Bassam Tariq for Amazon’s New Drama
Two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali is set to star in Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, a new Amazon MGM Studios film directed by Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli). Developed under Orion Pictures, this project marks a creative reunion for Ali and Tariq, who were previously paired for Marvel’s Blade reboot before Tariq’s departure.
Fresh off the success of Netflix’s Leave the World Behind, Ali brings star power and emotional depth to this mysterious new film.
