Danielle Nicolet is writing and exec producing a function adaptation of “Black Karen,” “The Flash” star’s 2022 quick directed by “Harlem’s” Meagan Good. Deadline broke the information.
“Pic tells the story of Karen Johnson, a Black lady on the verge. Her work, residence, and private life are falling to items whereas she’s tormented by anxiousness. After being satisfied by her therapist the world is woke and the one one who hasn’t modified is her, Karen decides to enhance her life by appearing like a white lady would. All of it goes nice… till it doesn’t,” the supply teases. “When the non-public financial institution Karen works in is robbed, she realizes that the state of affairs wants a hero. Nevertheless, her power doesn’t come from appearing like a white lady… it comes from embracing the sweetness, and badassery, that’s her blackness.”
Hartbeat, Kevin Hart‘s multi-platform media firm, is behind the function.
The quick was “created by means of Hartbeat’s comedic screenwriting fellowship Ladies Write Now, launched in 2021, which goals to champion the subsequent era of Black girls in comedy,” Deadline explains.
“We’re thrilled to proceed our relationship with Danielle, creating Black Karen from an thought to a brief created by means of the primary Ladies Write Now fellowship in partnership with Sundance Institute, and now to a function,” mentioned Ladies Write Now co-founder and Hartbeat CEO Thai Randolph. “With WWN, our aim was by no means to cease at mentorship. We’re devoted to creating career-changing alternatives for Black girls writers that stretch past the fellowship itself.”
No phrase on who will direct the function model of “Black Karen.”
