Cardi B is making her way back to the big screen. The Bronx native formally got her first leading role in the forthcoming Paramount comedy, Assisted Living.
What We Know:
- Cardi B will impersonate a small-time thief who finds herself in over her head when a sting goes wrong. On the run from the cops and her previous squad, she struggles to find anywhere to hide. Running out of options, Amber conceals herself as an elderly woman and hides out in the one place no one will look, her estranged grandmother’s nursing home. The film is described as a “raucous comedy” similar to Doubtfire and Sister Act.
- Paramount won the rights to Assisted Living in a competitive bidding war in the spring of 2019. The film is based on an original script by Kay Oyegun, one of the writers for the film This Is Us. Temple Hill and Stephen Love are producing.
