Beyonce and Zendaya are in talks to star in an Imitation Of Life movie remake

Beyonce and Zendaya reportedly in talks to star in ‘Imitation Of Life’ remake

Beyonce and Zendaya are in talks to star in an ‘Imitation Of Life’ remake.

The drama film was first released in 1934 – based on Fannie Hurst’s 1933 novel of the same name – then remade in 1959, starring Lana Turner, Juanita Moore, John Gavin and Sandra Dee.

It’s believed that if Zendaya signs up for the remake of the classic film, which deals with issues of race, class and gender, it could take her movie stock “to the next level”.

An insider said: “‘Imitation Of Life’ is renowned in the film world for the issues it tackles – and they seem more relevant than ever right now.

“Everyone wants Zendaya in their movies right now, but it looks like this might be the movie that will take her to the next level and really get the buzz on.”

‘Lion King’ star Beyonce is said to be keen to “really sink her teeth” into a juicy role.

The insider added to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Beyonce has dipped her toe in a few projects, like Disney’s ‘The Lion King,’ voicing the role of lioness Nala.

“But now she wants a project she can really sink her teeth into, so she’s very interested.”

If Beyonce and Zendaya are teaming up for the movie, it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve joined forces.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” star Zendaya starred in Beyonce’s “All Night” music video in 2016, and she previously admitted to being a huge fan of the “Single Ladies” hitmaker.

During a 2017 chat about the stars who inspire her, Zendaya said, “Beyonce. She took it to the next level with ‘Lemonade.’ She’s got twins and she’s fucking herself. She’s killing it.”

In 2016, Zendaya said, “I’ve just been obsessed with Beyonce and have been since I was born.

“Just to be there and really learn from her and see how amazing she is, how detail oriented she is, it was cool to sit down and watch.”
