Keke Palmer and SZA Starring in a Buddy Comedy Is the Best Idea
Keke Palmer and SZA are teaming up to star in a new buddy comedy produced by Issa Rae for TriStar Pictures, Deadline reports. The untitled film is set to be directed by Lawrence Lamont, a director on Rae’s Max series Rap Sh!t, from a script penned by Rap Sh!t showrunner Syreeta Singleton. Palmer will also executive produce the film, which will mark SZA’s acting debut. “I CAN’T WAIT,” Palmer wrote in an Instagram post confirming the news. The duo were previously paired up back in December of 2022, when the Nope star hosted Saturday Night Live with SZA as musical guest. Plot details for the film remain under wraps, but perhaps they’ll be teaming up to stop a dangerous, runaway metra train. This is just the latest project for the always-working Palmer, who is also set to star in Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune, the Eddie Murphy heist film The Pickup, David O. Russel’s Super Toys, and the rom-com The Backup.
