Tika Sumpter has got herself one of a life time role; she will be Michelle
Obama in the romance film “Southside With You.” The film will concentrate on
the early romance stages of Mr & Mrs Obama.
According to Indiewire, The
project is being pitched as a “Before Sunset”-style type of movie (in
short, man, woman, lots of mostly profound conversation over a period of time),
it will be taking place entirely in one day during the summer of 1989, when one
Barack Obama (then a first-year Harvard Law student) took his future
wife, Michelle (an associate at a Chicago law firm), out on a first
date, which included a tour of Chicago’s South Side. The film will be
directed by Richard Tanne and produced by Stephanie Allain. Word is that Richard
Tanne and Tika Sumpter worked on the script together. Sumpter will serve as an
executive producer on the project. -
