LIONSGATE® (NYSE: LGF) , the leading next generation studio, and Harpo Films, Inc. announced today that they will partner to develop the film, WILL YOU BE MY BLACK FRIEND?, starring Chris Rock (the upcoming GOOD HAIR, I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE, "The Chris Rock Show").
The project is based on a magazine article of the same name written by GQ senior correspondent Devin Friedman. Published in the magazine's November 2008 edition,
"Will You Be My Black Friend?" chronicles Friedman's unorthodox and admittedly self-conscious quest to make "black friends." The producers of WILL YOU BE MY BLACK FRIEND? are Oprah Winfrey, Kate Forte, President of Harpo Films, and Carla Gardini,
Senior Vice President, Production of Harpo Films. Lionsgate will distribute worldwide. The announcement was jointly made today by Joe Drake, Lionsgate Co-Chief Operating Officer and Motion Picture Group President, Mike Paseornek, Lionsgate President of Motion Picture Production and Harpo Films' Forte.
