The film conceived entirely by the will of the internet, a buddy caper starring Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o, penned by Insecure’s Issa Rae, and directed by Ava DuVernay has actually become a reality, with Netflix picking up the film at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
Twitter even penned an initial pitch for the film, which sees Rihanna playing a con artist who targets rich white men, with Nyong’o playing her co-conspirator and best friend, who helps plan her elaborate cons.
Sources state that Rae is already working on the script, with an eye for the film to start production in 2018.
