According to EW, the online campaign to make a film based on a Tumblr post of Lupita Nyong’o (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Rihanna (Annie) at a fashion show in 2014 was successful.
So, are you guys excited for the dream team film with Nyong’o, Rihanna, DuVernay and Rae?
The photo was posted on Tumblr by “elizabitchtaylor,” which said, “They look like they’re in a heist movie with Rihanna as the tough-as-nails leader/master thief and Lupita as the genius computer hacker.”
A campaign began to have Ava DuVernay (Selma) direct the buddy film.
