Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard, has been cast as the lead in writer/director Jean Claude LaMarre‘s African American erotic-romance drama “Kinky”, joining Vivica A. Fox and male co-star Robert Ri’Chard (Chocolate City).
Currently in pre-production, and set to begin filming in Los Angeles September 15th, “Kinky”, a racy African-American sex drama, which is being positioned as counter programming to “50 Shades Darker”, the sequel to Universal’s S&M hit “50 Shades Of Grey” set to be released in February 2017.
Kinky is being financed by Patriot Pictures, with LaMarre’s Nulite Entertainment serving as co-producers on the project. Producers include Michael Mendelsohn, Jessie LeVostre and Eurika Pratts.
Set in the affluent community of Buckhead, Atlanta, the story follows Dr. Joyce Richardson, a talented, yet introverted surgeon at Sinai Hospital, who is struggling with the fact that she is still single despite all her professional successes. Joyce’s strict Christian upbringing is a constant source of internal conflict for her, and limits the men she dates. However, upon a chance encounter with handsome Investor Darrin Wethington (Ri’Chard), Joyce immediately begins a whirlwind romance with the wealthy businessman and entrepreneur. It isn’t long before Joyce begins to explore her own sexual fantasies, and convinces Darrin to join her in S&M sex. This leads them into further and further exploration into this world, which is traditionally considered taboo in the conservative and upscale black community of Buckhead.
Dawn Richard, who recently released a solo Dance/EDM album earlier this year saw it top the Billboard chart in its debut at #1. She also has been a frequent collaborator/songwriter with P. Diddy and his Bad Boy Label. Dawn is repped by Ben Oduro at International Talent Agency.
