DeWanda Wise Set to Star in Film Adaptation of David Crownson's Upcoming Graphic Novel KILLER BEE
DeWanda Wise, who is best known for her roles in Jurassic World Dominion and Spike Lee’s Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It, will star in the film adaptation of Killer Bee, based on the upcoming graphic novel from David Crownson that Tommy Oliver’s Confluential Films will produce for the screen.
Confluential, an award-winning, Black-owned and Black-founded film, television, and documentary production company, will co-finance the action film.
Wise will portray a retiring assassin who takes on an underground criminal network after being tasked to kill the man she’s recently fallen in love with. Crownson’s work includes the graphic novel, “Harriet Tubman: Demon Slayer.”
The script for Killer Bee will be written by Kevin Arbouet and Terry Rossio. Rossio’s credits include all five of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, as well as Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and Shrek, for which he was nominated for an Oscar. Arbouet recently worked on the Audible true-crime series “Move: The Untold Story of an American Tragedy.”
