R&B superstar Rihanna is breaking into the acting world with
her big screen debut in the upcoming Iceberg Slim adaptation, Mama
Black Widow.
The Caribbean singer will be star alongside Mos Def,
Macy Gray, Anthony Anderson and Kerry Washington in the flick,
following one family's
journey from the red dirt of racially divided Mississippi to the
Chicago ghetto in the 1930s.
The story centers around the main character,
Otis Tilson - played by Stomp The Yard actor Brian J. White - who
struggles to maintain
his family in the underworld of Chicago; wading through alcoholism,
pimping, sexual deviation and racial degradation. Rihanna will
play a character named Carol, Tilson's sister.
According to IMDB.com
the script, adapted from the novel of the same name by the iconic
author and pimp, Iceberg Slim, is said
to stay
true to the original writer's voice.
