Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose will executive produce “Two and Only,” an original screenplay by Latina and LGBTQ+ writer Jen Rivas-DeLoose (“Selena: The Series”) for Sony’s Screen Gems, according to an individual with knowledge of the project.
The project will serve as a star vehicle for DeBose, who recently became the first openly queer woman of color to win an Academy Award for her portrayal of ‘Anita’ in Spielberg’s “West Side Story.”
While plot details are being kept under wraps, the project is described as “My Best Friend’s Wedding” with a bisexual Latina point of view, and will be overseen at Screen Gems by Scott Strauss and Giselle Johnson.
Producing the project are Sad Unicorn’s Randall Einhorn and Jeremy Stern.
DeBose was most recently seen in Steven Spielberg’s reimagining of “West Side Story,” for which she won the Academy Award, SAG Award, BAFTA, and Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress.
