This picture of Rihanna and Lupita at a Miu Miu fashion show in 2014. went viral and now it has inspired a prospective movie.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Netflix has secured a deal for the concept at the Cannes Film Festival after a “dramatic negotiation session.”
The picture went viral after Twitter user 1800SADGAL tweeted it out, joking that in the image, “Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men and Lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps plan the scans.” More people seemed to agree with him as they started drawing up storylines for a fictional film and imagining who should join the behind-the-scenes team—tagging DuVernay and Rae in the process.
Things got a bit more serious when Nyong’o tweeted their work at Rihanna, saying “I’m down if you are.” Rihanna tweeted back, saying “I’m in Pit’z.”
Ava DuVernay will reportedly direct the film, Rihanna and Nyong’o will star while Issa Rae will write the script. Rae confirmed with Vanity Fair that the project is in the works.
