Rick Famuyiwa, who directed the 2015 drama “Dope,” will be producing the upcoming Disney film.
The movie will be based on a pitch bought by Disney from Ola Shokunbi and Lindsey Reed Palmer, who will co-write the screenplay about a young African girl named Sadé whose kingdom is threatened by a mysterious evil force and accepts her newly discovered magical powers to protect her people, with the help of the kingdom’s prince.
The upcoming “Sade,” which is the latest African story to be told in Hollywood, will be produced by Famuwiya and executive produced by Scott Falconer.
