Fresh off her turn in Fox’s Independence Day: Resurgence, Vivica A. Fox has signed on to star in the indie feature, “Kinky”, by writer/director Jean Claude LaMarre (‘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.
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, 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.
Kinky is being financed by Patriot Pictures, with LaMarre’s Nulite Entertainment serving as co-producers on the project. Vivica A. Fox is repped by agent Sheila Lagette at Media Artist Group.
Producers include Michael Mendelsohn, Jessie LeVostre and Eurika Pratts.
