Da’Vine Joy Randolph has booked her next movie role!
On Friday (August 7), Variety announced that the 40-year-old Oscar-winning actress has signed on to star in the indie dark comedy movie Dedicated to Morris Burke from filmmaker Will Ropp.
Da’Vine will play Judy Brooks, “who discovers that the final novel of her late best-selling author husband isn’t dedicated to her like all the others. Instead, it’s dedicated to a man named Morris Burke. Judy pushes her grieving, as well as her son Lucas, to the side as she becomes consumed by trying to find out who Morris Burke is.”
Production for the new movie began late July in New York City.
The cast also includes Kate McKinnon, Amy Sedaris, Janeane Garofalo, Alison Pill, Andrew Rannells, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jack Alberts, Brian d’Arcy James, Holmes, Tyrik Johnson and Lauren Mei.
“This film explores the fine line between tragedy and comedy; what it means to lose someone you love, and whether there’s even a ‘right’ approach to dealing with grief,” Will Ropp shared in a statement. “I couldn’t be more excited for Da’Vine to be leading this stellar cast. She’s the perfect actor to bring this heartbreaking, hilarious and complicated character to life.”
If you didn’t see, Da’Vine revealed the career advice she got from Sandra Bullock.
