CommonWhiteGirl 1,039 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 After a dramatic negotiation session at the Cannes Film Festival, Netflix has nabbed a film project pairing Grammy winner Rihanna with Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, in a concept that began as a Twitter sensation. Ava DuVernay (Selma) will direct, and Issa Rae (Insecure) is writing the screenplay. According to sources, Netflix landed the project in a very aggressive bid, beating out multiple other suitors. Since then, the buzz has only intensified, with some creating concept art of the “scammer story” they envisioned with Rihanna playing a woman who cons white men, while her brilliant co-conspirator (played by Nyong’o) orchestrates the heists. It’s unclear how faithful Rae will remain to the crowd-sourced concept. (Since this piece was published, reps for Rae told Vanity Fair “the original Twitter users who imagined the concept for this film will be credited and included in some form.”) Link: http://ew.com/movies/2017/05/22/rihanna-lupita-nyongo-ava-duvernay-movie/ What do you hunties think about this collab are you here for it or not? Do you think it'll actually be a thing? Discuss! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
