“Vertical Entertainment has acquired the North American and UK rights to Only, the Takashi Doscher-directed sci-fi movie starring Freida Pinto and Leslie Odom Jr that had its world premiere earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival. A day-and-date release is planned for the first quarter of 2020 for the pic, which is produced and financed by Swiss Army Man outfit Tadmor.

The Doscher-penned script questions the lengths we will go to protect the ones we love. When a mysterious disease threatens the global population of females, Will (Odom) is determined to keep his partner, Eva (Pinto), safe from the disease, the government and the bounty hunters searching for the few women still alive. Soon, however, the independent Eva realizes she cannot sit idle and let men decide her fate. The Walking Dead’s Chandler Riggs, Jayson Warner Smith and Joshua Mikel also star. ...” (source)

STYLIST

Exclusive: Freida Pinto on confidence, Hollywood’s pay gap and how a pair of shoes changed her life

“Today marks an incredibly important date in the calendar: International Day of the Girl. It’s a day that aims to highlight the needs and challenges girls face while promoting girl empowerment. In celebration of this day, Stylist travelled to New York to sit down with actor and humanitarian Freida Pinto, to find out how the smallest of actions can enact huge change for so many girls.

...

For some people confidence is innate, for others it’s something we have to work towards as a collective. “The first thing I always try to tell myself is that I’m not perfect, I am never going to say all the right things at the right time every time,” says Pinto.

“There will be times in my life when I will be making mistakes that I will just have to accept, but here is what I need to learn about the situation and grow from it. How do I avoid making the same mistake in the future?

“I hate the word perfect, by the way, because there is nothing perfect, there is no perfection. I think eliminating that pressure already starts making you feel comfortable because that’s when you realise that everyone does not have this down – even Michelle Obama doesn’t have it down, she has her vulnerable moments. Just because she is your figure of absolute leadership in the women’s space it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have her low moments and her moments where she has made mistakes. So, once you stop idolising perfection, I feel that’s when you start becoming easier on yourself and can enact your own confidence.”

PEOPLE Magazine

Freida Pinto Talks Women's Empowerment and Sustainable Fashion

“PEOPLE caught up with the actress and humanitarian, 34, after the Clarks and Girl Rising “Stand Up for Change” women’s empowerment panel to celebrate the International Day of the Girl on Oct. 11.

“Having one day in the year we can dedicate to just listening to inspirational stories of girls who will end up inspiring some kind of change is very important,” Pinto tells PEOPLE. Still, she says, “We said we don’t need one particular day because every day should be International Day of the Girl. I don’t need to wait until Oct. 11 to celebrate girls.”

Pinto has taken part in the day of empowerment, which aims to help girls across the world access their human rights and address their day-to-day challenges, since the beginning in 2012.

“In many parts of the world, it’s always the girls who are the most marginalized – they’re denied education or have been taken out of school because they’ve been married at age 18,” she previously told PEOPLE. “Getting involved came from a very human part of me. I haven’t been denied education and have the best education my parents could possibly give me, so this just came from a very human perspective.”

Reflecting on her own experience as a little girl growing up in Mumbai, India, the Guerrilla actress remembers having big dreams — dreams that trumped Hollywood and international fame.

US Weekly

“The Indian beauty spoke with Us on Tuesday, October 8, at The Wing in NYC after the Clarks and Girl Rising “Stand Up for Change” panel. While discussing female empowerment, the Slumdog Millionaire star revealed her post-carpet ritual to soothe distressed feet — because no matter how beautiful a heel is, Pinto says they’re always painful.

“High heels can never be comfortable,” she said. “No matter how comfortable they try to make them in the long run, for a long night, they’re not comfortable.” So when she gets home she does one super simple thing: elevates them.

Get your feet above your head. Do whatever you are doing with your feet above your head.” Even after Tuesday morning’s event, she said she was going to sit for 15 minutes that way. After wearing nude block-heels with her red ensemble all morning, she wanted to make sure she gets the blood flowing back in the opposite direction.

“No one, not man, not woman, were meant to be walking in heels,” she said. “But again we’re doing for the clothes, the style and the fashion.” After all, the phrase “pain is beauty” is a cliché for a reason!

...

Although she has a lot she wants to accomplish working with the organization, there is one specific goal she has in mind.

“I want it to have this sustainability power where you can launch a program and give them the tools and then they can continue the journey on their own,” she explained. “So to make them fully self-sufficient, empowered. I think that’s the most important thing.”

She continued. “You want them to feel like they’re taking control of their own lives, and making their own decisions that need to be made in their lives. Making them feel like they’re in charge is maybe the number one goal.”

freidapinto: Oct 11th, International Day of the Girl. My long time partner @girlrising​ and my new and super encouraging partner @clarksshoes came together at The Wing to celebrate this day. This event was a little reminder even to myself that all the efforts you put in big or small-whether through a donation, volunteering, joining the various marches, speaking up and standing up... it will inevitably have a positive ripple effect. I feel grateful and empowered that I get to add my voice to this revolution. #InternationalDayoftheGirl #clarksforlife (x,x,x,x,x) (more: x,x)

Elle + Clarks Shoes

"What do you like about autumn/winter fashion?

I love summer and wearing flip-flops so that my toes can breathe, but I’m a sucker for a good ankle boot. I’m not particularly a high heels fan, so my closet is full of really cool sneakers, loafers and boots. I love the colder seasons – I have a lot of jackets and cardigans that I don’t get to wear as much as I’d like and I keep staring at them asking, ‘When is it going to happen?’ There’s something so comforting about layering.

Why did you want to partner with Clarks?

I’m from India and for a girl my height I do have feet that are slightly larger than average – they’re size 8 UK! Growing up in Mumbai, it was so hard to find shoes my size because, as you may know, Asian sizes are usually small. The only brand that had shoes that looked stylish and wouldn’t give me problems was Clarks. Now we work together! It all comes full circle.

Let’s talk through your outfits. First up, the mustard boilersuit with those burgundy leather boots is such a good combination.

I love the boilersuit, and the boots – which are made from consciously sourced leather and kind of have a combat-boot look – made me feel so badass! They were comfortable enough to allow me to move really well, too. They were so much fun to wear.

I’d travel in these boots because they’d be super-comfortable. A little mountain getaway, maybe? I’m not a beach girl, but I love the mountains. I love looking for beautiful hikes."
