Lil Rel Howery, Janelle James, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Maude Apatow and Katt Williams have joined TriStar’s untitled buddy comedy starring Keke Palmer and four-time Grammy-winning musician Sza. Joshua Neal, Aziza Scott and Patrick Cage will also star.
It sounds like an exciting project with a great lineup of talent! Given the diverse and strong cast, the film should offer a lot of comedic and dramatic depth. Keke Palmer and SZA headlining is already a strong draw, and the addition of Lil Rel Howery, Janelle James, and others suggests a dynamic and entertaining ensemble. With Lawrence Lamont directing and Syreeta Singleton handling the screenplay, it seems like the film is in capable hands. The involvement of notable producers like Issa Rae and Charles D. King further adds to the film's potential.
The film’s details are still under wraps, but the team behind it is impressive. The CoCre lab at Sony Pictures, in collaboration with ColorCreative, aims to discover and nurture diverse, emerging screenwriters, which is a fantastic initiative for bringing fresh perspectives to the studio film landscape.
Syreeta Singleton's involvement as the writer fits perfectly with this goal, given her emerging talent and unique voice. It’s exciting to see such a project come to fruition with a focus on original ideas and diverse creators, and with the backing of key players like Issa Rae, Deniese Davis, and Charles D. King. The collaboration between these entities suggests that the film will have a strong, creative vision and support system, likely leading to a distinctive and impactful comedy.
