Praise Twitter: The Rihanna and Lupita Movie Is Actually Happening

If you ever thought that Twitter was just another "useless" social media site, think again, as here's proof that it can produce some pretty epic results.

Remember that movie idea starring Rihanna and Lupita Nyong'o that started as a Twitter meme and spread like wildfire? Well, it's actually being brought to fruition, and another powerful Black woman who was also included in the narrative is reportedly helping to bring it to life.

According to Entertainment Weekly, after what was described as a "dramatic negotiation session" at the Cannes Film Festival where both RiRi and Lupita were present, Netflix has nabbed the film idea starring the two superstars, and it's all thanks to Twitter.

In addition to the respective Grammy and Oscar winners who, judging from their back-and-forth tweets at the time, are both heavily on board, Ava DuVernay, whose name was tossed into the ring to direct, will do just that. To add genius to more genius, Insecure's Issa Rae is being considered to write the screenplay.

What's even more impressive is that the project was bid on aggressively by a slew of suitors before Netflix landed it, proving that your tweets can really garner just about anything.

The universe just has a way of making things perfectly fall into place, don't you think?
