I wanted them to be on camera for the first time experiencing that. “Now, just because we got to deal with this mess, don’t you ever forget that being black is an honor, because you come from greatness.” But the young kids who played the scene in the film, I didn’t rehearse with them.
They rehearsed the scene, but they are not actually in the scene, but I only rehearsed it with them so they could have it as a backstory for them, moving forward, for the rest of the film.
It started off by rehearsing a scene with Lamar Johnson, who plays Seven, and Amandla Stenberg, who plays Starr. But keep - “ The rehearsal for the scene was very important. “It can get real dangerous, so don’t argue with them. How do you get them to understand how to act around police officers?

But I cinematically wanted to move slowly towards this house, to really show that, while everyone is having a good time playing, there’s important business being done with the Carter family. What I love about this scene is, outside, you see a normal neighborhood, with a lot of playing. “My name is George Tillman Jr., and I am the director of “The Hate U Give.” We always called this scene “the talk.” The scene was actually in the middle of the book, but we decided very early on to move it at the top of the film. narrates a sequence from his film where Maverick, played by Russell Hornsby, teaches his children how to behave around the police.
