Deadline is reporting that recent two-time Oscar nominee and nine-time Grammy Award winner Mary J. Blige is set to star in the horror thriller “Body Cam,” which will be directed by Malik Vitthal for Paramount Players.
Described as “Get Out” meets “End of Watch,” the story follows several LAPD officers who are haunted by a malevolent spirit that is tied to the murder of a black youth at the hands of two white cops — all of which was caught on a body cam video that was destroyed in a cover-up.
Matt Kaplan will produce the film which was rewritten by Nic McCarthy and John Ridley after Richmon Riedel delivered the spec script.
Blige was nominated for two Oscars for Netflix’s Mudbound, one for her supporting turn and another for co-penning the title song. She’s also starring in the upcoming Netflix original series The Umbrella Academy due to drop in 2019.
