Rashida Jones is set to direct a Goldie Vance comic book movie adaptation for 20th Century Fox, with Scandal star Kerry Washington producing through her Simpson Street banner.
Story-wise, Goldie Vance revolves around Marigold “Goldie” Vance, a sixteen year old girl and wannabe professional sleuth who lives with her dad at the Florida resort that he manages.
Beyond that, Goldie Vance is another welcome example of a comic book property that was created by women and will now be adapted for the big screen by women to boot.
That is to say, there’s an opening in Fox’s movie slate that Goldie Vance could nicely fill.
