In addition to Diaz, the film also stars Lauren London, Loretta Devine, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robbie Jones and Wood Harris.

Directed by Chris Stokes, the film will get a day and date release in limited theaters and on VOD platforms on November 20 then UMC will exclusively stream the film beginning in early 2021.

The plot follows Nicole (Addai-Robinson), who seems to have it all – a great job, an adoring husband (Jones) – but her perfect world is shattered when her childhood friend is suddenly found dead. The tragedy reunites Nicole with her best friends from years ago, but they each soon find themselves in danger, targets of a deranged stalker. As the secrets of their past come back to haunt them, they’ll soon realize that a deadly nightmare is just beginning for those who long ago pledged their loyalty to each other, “always and forever.”

Patrick Johnson Jr., Marques Houston, Jerome Jones, Jarrell Houston, Shondrella Avery, and Alana Brown produced the film in association with Footage Films and Novus Content.

“Last year, UMC began testing the waters of the theatrical game with the release of Master P’s I Got the Hook-Up 2 to great success,” said Brett Dismuke, Chief Content Officer of UMC. “While a lot has changed in our industry over the last few months of the pandemic, we’re excited to continue developing our film distribution efforts with Always and Forever – a star-studded, jaw-dropping thriller that is sure to have audiences at the edge of their seats.”

Diaz, who was a correspondent on Entertainment Tonight during 2012–2014, previously appeared in the films Gangs of Roses 2: Next Generation, Soul Ties and The Last Letter.

Bruno Mars on Ellen

Mars announced his world tour, which is being called the Moonshine Jungle World Tour, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday. The tour will feature British singer/songwriter Ellie Goulding and soul/indie pop band Fitz and the Tantrums to support the “Locked Out of Heaven” singer on select tour dates.

Even though Mars hasn’t released specifics on dates and venues, he did reveal the he’d hit major cities across the U.S. and Canada this summer before taking the show on the road in Europe in the fall.

Mars had hinted about his upcoming tour for weeks on Twitter, where he also told fans last week about the premiere of the music video for his latest single “When I Was Your Man.”

During his stop on Ellen, Mars was invited to the prom by an audience member. Even though he had to decline because of his busy schedule, Mars still managed to, with help from host Ellen DeGeneres, bring prom to her. He even serenaded her with “Always and Forever,” while dancing under a disco ball.
