Gina Rodriguez to Star in ‘Bobbie Sue’ Movie With ‘Uncle Drew’ Filmmaker Directing (EXCLUSIVE)
Warner Bros. is looking to breathe some new life into its long-in-development “Bobbie Sue” pic, as it has set Gina Rodriguez to star in the title role with Charles Stone III directing. While the studio viewed the project as a priority since acquiring it in 2008, it was looking for the right actress for the lead, at one point eyeing Cameron Diaz to star before scheduling got in the way.
The story follows a young ambulance-chasing lawyer who lands a career-making case with an upper crust law firm only to realize she’s been hired for optics, not her expertise. After that, she must find a way to win the case using her unconventional, scrappy lawyering skills.
