Remember that time when someone posted that on Twitter, and those people chimed in being like "I'm down"?

Where's the movie?

I haven't forgotten!

Give me!!

It's been long enough, it should be done by now!

Probably vaporware. Last mention I can find of “plans” for it was in 2019. No title to be found.

edit: context: a photo of them at a fashion show inspired twitter users to propose a heist film starring the two, and they went along with it. Supposedly Issa Rae got tapped to write it. That’s about it.

Oh yeah! Maybe it was issa rae and not ava. Whichever sad they never got their act together!

They owe it to their stans

Oh, Issa Rae was tapped to write it, but Ava was going to direct it. Supposedly.

You should stop using twitter.

Is that a songbird?

No, that's a long-tailed tit. Twitter is a kind of speaker.

That's too much cool for a buddy cop movie. You need a prime and a sidekick, a The Rock and a Kevin Hart.

A movie with Rihanna and Nyong'o would just be two impossibly beautiful people being perfect.
