Keke Palmer and SZA team up for a buddy comedy produced by Issa Rae, directed by Lawrence Lamont.
Keke Palmer and SZA are teaming up for a big-screen adventure in an upcoming untitled buddy comedy, produced by Issa Rae. Following their successful collaboration on Saturday Night Live, Palmer and Grammy-winning artist SZA are set to bring their chemistry to the forefront of a new project under TriStar Pictures.
Directed by Lawrence Lamont, known for his work on Rap Sh!t, and featuring a screenplay by Syreeta Singleton, plot details are being kept under wraps for now.
Palmer made Emmy history with her show Turnt Up With the Taylors and as the first Black woman to win Outstanding Host for NBC’s Password reboot. SZA, an Oscar nominee and four-time Grammy winner, topped charts with her debut album Ctrl and received critical acclaim for her collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on “All the Stars” for Black Panther, nabbing Grammy and Oscar nominations.
Palmer has starred in more than 25 films and 30 TV shows including Jordan Peele’s Nope and Fox produced Scream Queens. For SZA, this venture marks her acting debut.
Backing the project are producers from Rae’s banner HOORAE, along with ColorCreative’s Deniese Davis and Macro Film Studios’ Charles D. King, James Lopez, and Poppy Hanks. Singleton joins as a co-producer, while Palmer’s own production company, Big Boss, helmed by Palmer and Sharon Palmer, takes on executive producing duties.
