Sza and Keke Palmer, two talented women in the entertainment industry, are teaming up for a new movie under the guidance of Issa Rae. The movie, a buddy comedy, is currently in the works with TriStar Pictures and has already secured a director in Lawrence Lamont, known for his work on "Rap Sh-t". Syreeta Singleton, the showrunner for the series, is in charge of the screenplay. While details about the plot are still under wraps, fans can expect to see both Sza, known for her hit song "Nope", and Keke, known for her role in "Snooze", in the lead roles.
Both Sza and Keke are already well-established stars in their respective fields, but this will be Sza's first time in a leading acting role. While she has dominated the music scene with four Grammys and an Oscar nomination, the 34-year-old has yet to make her mark on the big screen. However, her interest in acting has been gaining traction, as seen in her recent appearance on "Sesame Street". This new movie will be a shift to more mature audiences for the talented artist.
On the other hand, Keke is no stranger to the world of acting. She first captured hearts as a child in the heartwarming film "Akeelah and the Bee" and has continued to make a name for herself in Hollywood with roles in "Hustlers" and "Nope". At only 30 years old, she has not only established herself as a talented actress, but also a media personality. In fact, she made history by becoming the first Black woman to win Outstanding Host for a Game Show at the 2023 Emmys for her show "Password".
The idea to bring these two entertainers together came from their appearance on "Saturday Night Live". In the promos for the episode, hosted by Keke with a performance by Sza, the two created quite a buzz with their on-screen chemistry. This led to the idea for the movie, which will be produced by Rae's Hoorae Productions, the same company behind "Rap Sh-t". The concept itself was born from the CoCre lab at Sony Pictures, an innovative lab that helps diverse screenwriters develop original project ideas.
While no dates have been set for filming or release, fans are already highly anticipating this project. With such talented individuals involved and the success of their previous collaborations, it's no surprise that the untitled movie is generating so much buzz. We can't wait to see what this dream team brings to the big screen!
