Lupita Nyong'o just tweeted about a hypothetical movie I'm more excited about than Idris Elba Tells Me He Loves Me on a Yacht. To be clear: It's not a real movie, but I hope it will be someday.
It all started with this absolutely perfect Twitter #tbt:
It's a shot of Rih and Nyong'o in the front row for Miu Miu's Fall/Winter show at Paris Fashion Week in 2014. They both look royal and iconic, and everyone should be tweeting it every day from now on. Put it in your iCal.
Twitter user @1800SADGAL, who will soon no doubt be a world-famous Hollywood screenwriter, made the genius observation that the photo looked like a still from the best movie that's never been made:
But the reason I had to call 911 and save my own life was Nyong'o's cool-as-ice response:
Can you imagine this movie? Only in your most exceptional dreams. It would win every award. The Academy would have to create a whole new category at the Oscars because they'd all agree that "it just wouldn't be fair otherwise." Film executives would look skeptically at scripts and be like, "But when does she SCAM A MAN?" The world would run out of corn, BECAUSE WE DRENCHED IT ALL IN BUTTER AND ATE IT WHILE SEEING THIS MOVIE 400 TIMES.
The only problem with this otherwise 100 percent perfect tweet is that Lupita did not @ Shonda Rhimes. I hope she rectifies that soon. This movie sounds like The Catch meets Ocean's Eight meets Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend. I can only hope Kerry Washington and Sandra Oh will also be in it.
LUPITA! CALL SHONDA. I NEED to see this movie. Oxygen has become a secondary requirement at this point.
But since I know they're all busy women, I have helped to cast this film. Actually, it kind of cast itself. So many excellent celebs conveniently sitting front row at that Miu Miu show to choose from...
Jared Leto as Rich White Man #6
Jared was also at the show...just not seated with the ladies.
Bella Heathcote and Elle Fanning as The Personal Shoppers Who Are Also Definitely In On It
Margot Robbie as the Ambitious Rookie Cop Who Is Tasked to Catch Rihanna and Lupita When their Infamy Grows But Then Realizes Their Worldview Is Correct and Joins Their Crew as Their Woman on the Inside
See? It virtually writes itself. I'm warning you, Hollywood. If this movie doesn't get made, I will never see a movie ever again. So help me God.
