First Look: Jonathan Majors, GlenPowell, JoeJonas, and DarenKagasoff take flight in JGDillard's 'Devotion.'
“It’s rare when the thing that you’re working on so deeply reaches into your own life, your own history, your own family.”is the story of Jesse L. Brown , a pioneering Black Naval aviator who flew during the Korean War, and built an unexpected bond with fellow Naval aviator Tom Hudner .

Powell teamed with Black Label Media to acquire the rights to the book, even meeting with Brown’s and Hudner’s families to explain why he wanted to tell this story. “This event has really defined their lives in so many ways, both of them, and so they hold it with such reverence, and the legacy of their fathers with such reverence that, I told them, ‘I promise you, I will do this right if you guys give me the opportunity to make it.
Powell was especially interested in exploring the unlikely bond between Brown and Hudner, who arrived from vastly different backgrounds to serve together. “I feel like this movie just resonates as so much more honest than most movies about being an ally and a friend and a wingman, and how far you’re willing to go for a friend—and it’s not going to be in a cheesy way. It’s always grounded in reality,” he says.
And though audiences won’t get to see the film until it comes out in the fall , Dillard has already heard from his most important critic: his father. “He loves it,” says Dillard with a smile, before adding, “I’m also bracing myself for the probability that I’ll never make anything that he will like as much as this.”covering awards season’s Emmy and Oscar contenders.From the awards race to the box office, with everything in between: get the entertainment industry's must-read newsletter.
