( 4UMF NEWS ) Beyonce Directs First Movie:
Beyoncé Knowles has donned many guises in her entertainment career — musical superstar, fashion icon, actress (yeah, we’ll even count her “Pink Panther” turn).
Now she’s looking to add a rather different notch: documentary director.
Knowles and her representatives at agency ICM have in recent weeks been shopping a nonfiction film to Hollywood studios about the celebrity’s life and career.
According to a person familiar with the package who was not authorized to talk about it publicly, the movie is as a mix of music and personal study, blending concert footage with confessional interview. Knowles not only stars in the project but is directing it, and will also serve as a producer. About 20 minutes of footage has been shown to distributors.
A representative at Knowles’ agency did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
