And she found love by not looking for it; that\u2019s what\u2019s so powerful about the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cAnd so as I was studying it, I felt like, \u2018Wait a minute, there are so many elements in this story that I think would make for a great film.\u2019 You know there\u2019s romance. There\u2019s a little bit of danger. There\u2019s a journey that the characters go on, and I said, \u2018Wow, let\u2019s do this as a modern adaptation. And I said I don\u2019t think there\u2019s ever been a modern version of the story of Ruth and Boaz, and there certainly hasn\u2019t been one that starred people of color. So, the opportunity to do something that had never been done before with this story that is so hopeful, that\u2019s so inspiring, it just felt right. And so that was the process going from the scripture and feeling like it was going to be the right idea, developing it, and now we have this film that the world is getting ready to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-plot-of-ruth-amp-boaz\">What\u2019s the plot of \u2018Ruth &amp; Boaz\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>According to the official synopsis, \u201c<em>From producers DeVon Franklin and Tyler Perry, <\/em>Ruth &amp; Boaz<em> is a modern-day reimagining of the timeless love story, rooted in faith, healing, and second chances. Serayah stars as Ruth Moably, a rising Atlanta hip-hop artist who leaves behind fame after a personal tragedy. Seeking a fresh start in rural Tennessee, she cares for her late boyfriend\u2019s mother (Phylicia Rashad) and unexpectedly finds new purpose and love with Boaz (Tyler Lepley), a grounded and generous vineyard owner. Directed by Alanna Brown and written by Michael Elliot and Cory Tynan, the film features an original song by Kenneth \u201cBabyface\u201d Edmonds, performed by Serayah.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tyler-lepley-and-serayah-on-becoming-ruth-amp-boaz\">Tyler Lepley and Serayah on becoming Ruth &amp; Boaz<\/h2>\n<p>For Lepley, becoming Boaz was a journey as he wasn\u2019t familiar with the origins of the character\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t too well-versed with the story before I stepped on the set,\u201d he shared, adding, \u201cThe only thing I had known from the outside is that Boaz had lots of resources. Boaz had a lot of money.\u201d He continued, \u201cWhen I got into it, I think what I learned most is that \u2014 you know, when you hear that, you think surface level. Boaz is very heartfelt; he\u2019s a very deep-feeler, you know? And is not transactional. So I felt like just being able to discover the type of heart that he had and the type of human that he is was refreshing because a lot of male figures you see in love stories, you know, will show you a different light. It was nice to see where Boaz was coming from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Serayah, who portrays Ruth, noted how her character provides a lesson on the power of divine destiny, among other notable qualities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt taught me, through Ruth and through the story, that sometimes you have to start over, and you don\u2019t know what that means,\u201d she said. \u201cBut you just have to follow your gut feeling in your heart, and that, for people, is very scary. In some people, that will derail them from even trying, but Ruth definitely shows that \u2014 follow your gut and your heart, and she figures it out and picks up the pieces on the way. So, I admire her for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Ruth &amp; Boaz<\/em> is now streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v7.0&#038;autoLogAppEvents=1&#038;appId=567482886746994\" async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source blavity.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the Bible\u2019s most timeless love stories is making its way to streaming through Netflix\u2019s Ruth &amp; Boaz.
