A photo of Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o at a Miu Miu Fashion Show in 2014 resurfaced and the internet ran with it. The photo sparked a whole movie pitch on Twitter in April of this year.

“Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men and lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps plan the scans”, someone tweeted.

The tweet was retweeted thousands of times and it even caught the attention of Rihanna and Lupita.

According to reports, the concept was pitched at the Cannes Film Festival.

It’s also been reported that Netflix may be the platform that streams the internet-created movie. Director Ava DuVernay and writer Issa Rae may be on board too.

It’s unclear if the actual movie concept pitched will be what would be produced, but at this point, people are just excited about all the black girl magic that is about to pour out of this film.

If everything goes as planned, you can expect to see Rhianna and Lupita co-starring in a film by 2018.
