No, I don’t expect it to be superhero levels but big but Z is a talented actress that is one of the biggest movie stars. Some would argue “technically not it’s because she’s in mainly supporting roles in franchises” and movie stars since the beginning have been in supporting roles in franchises and that’s not going to change. Just like it’s not going to change 29% went to go see Brand New Day for her alone. The Drama made more than 4 times its budget- a dark romcom with very heavy subject matter. 70% saw it for her and Rob. Challengers is the highest grossing tennis film. 55% saw it for her alone. When we got the first Challengers trailer, it became one of largest 24 hour launch in MGM’s history. 160 million global views. For the second trailer, it was 195 million global views. When she and Rob were announced to do The Drama, it went viral. Even though it’s not a film- Euphoria’s season 2 premiere finished second in viewership behind Game of Thrones, it increased in viewership by 8% in season 3, Nielsen data mentioned over 1.3 billion minutes were watched by the finale, and it holds the record for being the most tweeted about show this decade in the United States with over 40 million tweets. This is one of her most anticipated projects - one she’s been attached to after she won her first Emmy, which that her personal tweet after win, had over a million likes. She was handpicked by Ronnie and had a personal relationship with her- something that doesn’t always happen with biopics and it’s one of the biggest honors an actor and fellow human being can have. Regardless of how we get positive news about the film- I anticipate it will get lots of traction because Z is a movie star and lots of us are excited to see what she chooses to do next within her own time.

Thanks for the numbers lol. Let's wait and see. Imo, A24 biopic about Ronnie Spector won't be major event like MJ biopic was or how undoubtedly The Beatles ones will be. With all respect to Ronnie her name and The Ronettes aren't as recognizable. Zendaya and Barry being attached obviously will bring a lot of attention to it but I think you need to lower your expectations a little

And soon she will add Barry Jenkins to this list 💅

They said it the best

Yup. I follow this fan and they always have great nuanced takes

And it applies not only to this jealous possessive woman narrative but to "Zendaya can't act" one too

[zendayas-left-leg]

I’m gonna quote someone on X:

no white girl used against Zendaya has ever succeed

Something to think about.

I don't really like this. Sadie never asked for it. She seems like a sweetheart. Flo loves Z down and would be the first to call out those racist weirdos if it didn't bring even more attention to the issue. I will always root for women to succeed. Except for maga princess that is

[zendayas-left-leg]

this movie brought so much ugliness in how people are treating Z and MJ that I became a hater. I can’t stand hearing anything about it. I’m completely turned off. I can’t stand people trying to paint her as jealous woman. Why do people want her to be one in the first place? I remember watching the entire Flo/Z/Tom interaction on the London premiere and thinking how comfortable all of them were. A totally diferent vibe from the LA premiere. Only for people online to spin things to hate on Z. I know this will pass, but is so hard to see this everytime she is in a big movie.

Eh, comicbros always treated her horribly, nothing new here. I actually like how it became great litmus test for men all over the world. It's not even about MJ or Z, it's a bigger picture of how fragile those "men" egos are

[zendayas-left-leg]

Tbh Phil Spector was a horrible person IRL, so why not use a24 to develop the story. If they pushed the horror element it wouldn’t be unexpected.

A24 is known for original and bold projects. Perfect studio for an "experimental" biopic about tumultuous abusive relationship

[zendayas-left-leg]

What is it about Z and even Tom that inspires people to ship them with anyone they even breathe near. I thought it was only Z that this happened to but I realized that it’s only because Tom has not been around any age appropriate white women. Them being married doesn’t stop them.I’ve even seen videos accusing Z of being jealous of Florence hugging Tom. Maybe this happens in other fandoms too. Just don’t follow any wonder if for example Callum Turner and Monica Babaro got that since they were in a Rom/com .From Mike Josh even Rob it never stops. Just bracing for whoever is cast as Phil and whoever is cast with Tom. The worst part is the stans of whoever they ship their partner with join the hate train for the real life partner seen some Sadie Stans on Z now.But actually come to think of it I’m not sure it’s Sadie Stan’s just people who hate Z pretending to be Sadie Stans.

Well with Tom it's quite obvious, it's pure racism, they can't stomach that popular white man is head over heels for a black woman. It's easier for them to paint this narrative of angry possessive jealous black woman that keeps Tom from being truly happy with a white girl, to cope. For some it's inability to self insert. Remember how his stans were hoping that he will be paired with Sadie? Remember how they were so excited for intimate scenes between him and Emma Laird in tcr?

With Z is different. It's either racism once again and attempts to paint her as a cheater, "for the streets" or in case of Tim and Rob's fans that hate their respective partners, they want their faves to be seen with someone on Z's level - popular, acclaimed, talented unproblematic A-lister. They view her as a prize.

And those are not Sadie's stans. Her stans were over the moon to see them together doing press and pose on the carpets.

oh hell no not Jeremy strong grumpy ass I hope not

Nah it won't be him

[zendayas-left-leg]

No offense but your anons (I think it's just 1 tbh) keep pushing this idea of a ton of fan fare around BMB and not only is that not Z's style but it's just not how production announcements happen in general. We'll get casting news and we'll know when they go into production. That's it. I'm not sure why anons are building this up to be some big ordeal. This is a small biopic not the next avengers film. Anons need to start coming back down to earth

Umm? No one expected that, what are you even talking about...

[zendayas-left-leg]

I kinda agree with Anon I'd rather it be delayed than released at the same time. I just don't like Z getting compared to these privileged white boys, and why A24 for a biopic? I don't get it, why not Universal or WB"

Why not other studio? That's not how this works hun. A24 has rights to adapt Ronnie's book. Z can't just suddenly decide that she wants bigger studio. And what's wrong with A24 anyway?

[zendayas-left-leg]

Watch them announce it after Z’s Prada commercial finally drops and we get our first taste of Z x Barry and they do a companion interview talking about BMB. Also I don’t dislike the idea of Jeremy Strong- I think he’s a better fit for Phil than he is for Mark Zuckerberg (I’m sorry Jeremy but I really wish they had packed up ship once Jesse said no to returning) looks wise alone. But I still feel like they’ll get an actor who’s closer to Z in age. I hope Halle Berry plays Ronnie’s mom🥹

Hoping for Z and Barry interview and some BMB crumbs this week 🙏

Nah, Jeremy is too old and how it was alredy mentioned by others, he's famously loves method acting and Z doesn't need that atmosphere on this set

[zendayas-left-leg]

I would gladly sacrifice BMB for Z to get at least a nom for Dune 3. Just to piss off some people.

But it’s very unlikely. So bring it on BMB. I just don’t like the idea of her and Tom releasing a biopic at the same time.

That's not the energy I support. Sacrifice the project that is clearly more than just a movie for Z for a moment of pettiness that will come and go?

What is wrong with them releasing their biopics close to each other?

[zendayas-left-leg]

Hasn’t Z literally said multiple times when she takes time off, she misses working?

If it helps- I’m going to guess BMB is going to shoot on film and A24 films usually take at max 3 months to film. They’re already in preproduction and it seems like the script is sounding really good so imagine they’re figuring out location, BTS crew members, and some final casting details. I don’t think we see much if at all her filming BMB since I’m sure most of the scenes will take place inside and I think we probably won’t see her out and about until Dune.

I love how we collectively decided that she's filming BMB this fall 😅

Apparently Letterboxd has listed Jeremy strong as Phil spector

That doesn't mean anything, Letterboxd isn't production weekly or imdb pro. I doubt they even considered him tbh
