QuoteEXCLUSIVE: It looks like the recent team-up on Saturday Night Live went very well as Keke Palmer and four-time Grammy winner SZA are set to star in an untitled buddy comedy movie from TriStar Pictures, with producer Isaa Rae producing. Rap Sh!t director Lawrence Lamont is set to direct, with the screenplay written by his Rap Sh!t teammate Syreeta Singleton, who served as the series' showrunner.
Plot details being kept under wraps, but Rae and Sara Diya Rastogi will produce through Rae's banner HOORAE, joined by ColorCreative's Deniese Davis, and Charles D. King, James Lopez and Poppy Hanks from Macro Film Studios. Singleton is co-producing. Big Boss' Palmer and Sharon Palmer are executive producing. Macro Film Studios is coming on board to co-finance and produce.
QuoteThe project came together from the CoCre lab at Sony Pictures. The lab was a previous pact between ColorCreative and Columbia Pictures to source and incubate emerging, diverse screenwriters to develop and write their first studio feature based on original ideas.
Palmer and SZA teamed for Saturday Night Live when Palmer hosted and SZA was the musical guest. The movie marks SZA's acting debut; the musician had been considering a number of projects, and the opportunity to reunite with Palmer was too good to pass up
Keke has a really good team. Endorsements, mag covers, and consistent acting bookings galore. This movie should be cute.
Keke is doing well for herself these days. Her resume is stacked, but truly would love for her to snag another plum role that critically acclaimed, I'm sure it's on the way.
they lost me at sza. all the other real actresses out there. smh
