Exclusive: Primetime Emmy nominee Michaela Jaé Rodriguez is set for Wildfire. The Chaya Doswell penned screenplay, which recently made the Black List, follows 7-year-old Lu, who accidentally starts a wildfire. A mute from an abusive home, Lu slyly tricks Merribelle, a hardworking trans woman, into kidnapping her — sparking a beautifully unexpected bond with a devastating expiration date. Deadline first reported about the project when Oscar- and Emmy-nominated producer David Permut and Dawn Krantz acquired the script.
Rodriguez, was Emmy nominated for Lead Actress Drama last year at the Emmys, is also presenting at the Golden Globes tonight.
In addition 5x Emmy nominated and Grammy award winning producer, artist, author, manager and TV personality Randy Jackson (American Idol) is coming aboard to produce the movie with Permut and Krantz.
The team is currently exploring directors.
