Beyonce Knowles will further her movie career as she co-stars in an upcoming thriller called Obsessed.
Knowles appears in the film with the likes of Ali Larter (Legally
Blonde, Resident Evil: Extinction) and Idris Elba (The Wire, American
Gangster) and will also executive produce the movie alongside her
father, Matthew Knowles.
The Screen Gems’ thriller will
have Elba playing the role of an asset manager with an overly
attractive wife (Knowles) continuing her thriving career. However, the
film takes a drastic turn when a temp office worker (Larter) begins
stalking Elba’s character.
Obsessed will be directed by
Steve Shill. He is best known for his work on HBO shows including The
Sopranos, The Wire, Rome, Deadwood, and Big Love.
As of now, Screen Gems topper Clint Culpepper is
finalizing cast deals, working out schedules with reps from both Knowles and Larter.
While the film is undergoing production, Knowles is also producing and
co-starring in Sony BMG’s Cadillac Records as Etta James.
