The award-winning musician FKA Twigs is discussing potential roles for an upcoming biographical film about Josephine Baker, a groundbreaking performer known for her dancing, singing, and acting, who was born in America but lived primarily in France. This movie will be helmed by Maimouna Doucouré, the director behind “Cuties.
Studiocanal is funding and collaborating on the production of the film, while also taking charge of international distribution. Bien ou Bien Prods, Doucouré’s production company, is producing alongside Studiocanal, along with CPB Films. The biopic has also gained support from Josephine Baker’s sons, Jean-Claude Bouillon Baker and Brian Bouillon Baker, as well as the Rainbow Tribe, a term Baker used to refer to her numerous adopted children.
In the year 1927, Baker, an innovative performer and advocate for civil rights, made history as the first black woman to take the leading role in a significant film production titled “The Siren of the Tropics,” thereby breaking new ground in cinema.
Upcoming, FKA Twigs will appear in the film “The Carpenter’s Son,” sharing the screen with Nicolas Cage.
