She’s already conquered the music seen so let it come as no surprise if Rihanna happens to conquer the big screen as well. The Barbadian babe is set to star in her first big screen debut as Carol in the film adaptation of Iceberg Slim’s book ‘Mama Black Widow’. According to its online description, the movie synopsis is “Mama Black Widow is the portrait of a black family’s migration from the southern Mississippi fields of the segregated south to the ghettoized black underworld of Chicago during the 1930’s. The story follows Otis Tilson’s struggle to keep his family together as they navigate through a world of alcoholism, pimping, sexual deviation and racial degradation. Told in the gut level language of the original novel by Iceberg Slim, the family’s journey is a harsh testament of lives lived on the margins of a racist and predatory world.” It sounds like a big movie to take on. Let’s hope it doesn’t bomb.
