Rogue Pictures – best known for releasing genre titles such as Cherry Falls, Cry Wolf and Unleashed is branching out even further.
The company has signed a deal with Queen Latifah’s Flavour Unit production outfit, with the first collaboration primed and ready.
Welfare Queen tells the true story of Dorothy Woods, a woman who scammed the US welfare system out of millions. Abdul Williams is already writing that script.
"This is the first major deal we've signed with a studio, and we did it because we felt confident we could go from Welfare Queen to Horror In The Hamptons, which is a script by Alex Mirkin about a bunch of 16-year-olds chopping each other up," Latifah told Variety. "We get our hands on a lot of material we can do well, and our dream is to work up to producing three movies a year. The deal isn't based on me being in every film."
Shame… Wouldn’t you pay to see Queen Latifah lay the smack down on a masked vigilante? We would.
