LOS ANGELES, May 24 — A movie based on a Twitter post of Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o that went viral is in the pipeline, with the two stars reportedly attached to take part.

The movie — which, according to The Hollywood Reporter, also has director Ava DuVernay attached to helm and “Insecure” creator Issa Rae in talks to write — is the brainchild of Twitter user @1800SADGAL, who posted an image of the Oscar and Grammy winners sitting front row at a 2014 Miu Miu fashion show with the caption, “Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men and lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps plan the scans [sic].”

The post went viral — typo and all — and saw Nyong’o acknowledge the tweet about the potential film, writing: “I’m down if you are @rihanna”. Rihanna responded: “I’m in Pit’z”.

Other users then suggested DuVernay and Rae should board the then-hypothetical film, and the rest is history. Netflix acquired the project out of the Cannes Film Festival, and DuVernay took to Twitter this week to promote the news. — AFP-Relaxnews
