The Queen Has Taken Her Place on The Throne For The New Wendy Williams Movie Queen of Media



The verdict is in! Nicole Tucker of Philadelphia, PA, has been crowned the 's8220;Queen of Media,'s8221; at least temporarily. Nicole has been selected to play the lead role of Wendy Williams in the film 's8220;Queen of Media's8221; based upon the autobiographical book of the radio personality Wendy Williams entitled 's8220;Wendy's8217;s Got The Heat.'s8221; It is also official that Hassan Johnson of HBO's8217;s The Wire and ABC's8217;s ER has signed onto the project and will play Kevin Hunter, Wendy's8217;s husband. To date, celebrities including Vanessa L Williams, Lil Kim, Angell Conwell, Wesley Jonathan, Carl Anthony Payne, Chico DeBarge, Erika Ringor, Dawn Robinson, Teedra Moses and Gabrielle Dennis will be a part of this film. Additional cameo appearances by Funk Master Flex, Spinderella, Herby Love Bug, Judge Mablean Ephram and a few others are currently being worked out.

Due to the nature of this film, it was extremely important to Furqaan Clover (CEO of Furqaan Films) to include real-life radio personalities and deejays in this film about a determined female who rises to the top of the radio world. As a result, personalities including Spank of Hartford's8217;s Power 104, Jeannie Jones of Washington, DC's8217;s WKYS and Armand of Los Angeles's8217; 100.3 The Beat, and a few others will add that personal touch both Furqaan and Wendy intend for the viewers to appreciate.

One of the main casting goals of Furqaan and Wendy was to make sure the average person with above average acting talent living in a below average film production city could have an equal shot at being in this film. As a result, this multi-city casting effort found Alicia Graves (will play Wendy as a teenager), Linnet Carty (will play Wendy's8217;s grandmother) and Ruby Thomas (will play Wendy's8217;s sister) all from Hartford, CT, Michael O's8217;Neal from Washington, DC (will play Wendy's8217;s younger brother), from Washington DC and Rahman Johnson (will play Wendy's8217;s father) from Jacksonville, FL. Additional principal roles were offered to actors in Memphis, TN, Charlotte, NC, and Philadelphia, PA.

While the excitement for this film grows daily, especially for Wendy's8217;s loyal listeners, the buzz around the soundtrack for this film is spreading like wild flowers to areas where Wendy is not even syndicated. The music director for the film is Dre Knight of The Narcotics. Dre along with manager Rick Brown both share the same comments that this soundtrack will be able to be placed in the 's8220;classic's8221; category. Filming is set to begin mid October in New York, NY.
