The Searchlight film is based on the novel of the same name written by Edward Kelsey Moore. The novel, “The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat” came out about a decade ago and was on the New York Times Best Sellers list in 2013.
According to Deadline, Searchlight Pictures has casth Uzo Aduba, Aunjanue Ellis, and Sanaa Lathan to star in the production. Tina Mabry will be directing the project and the script is written by Gina Prince-Bythewood. The story centers on 3 friends, Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean, who live in Indiana during the 1960’s.
The book description:
This diner in Plainview, Indiana is home away from home for Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean. Dubbed “The Supremes” by high school pals in the tumultuous 1960s, they’ve weathered life’s storms for over four decades and counseled one another through marriage and children, happiness and the blues.
Now, however, they’re about to face their most challenging year yet. Proud, talented Clarice is struggling to keep up appearances as she deals with her husband’s humiliating infidelities; beautiful Barbara Jean is rocked by the tragic reverberations of a youthful love affair; and fearless Odette is about to embark on the most terrifying battle of her life.
With wit, style and sublime talent, Edward Kelsey Moore brings together three devoted allies in a warmhearted novel that celebrates female friendship and second chances.
