The White House legend that is Barack and Michelle Obama’s romance is heading to the screen. Southside With You, a drama in the vein of Before Sunrise, chronicles the summer 1989 afternoon when the future President of the United States of America wooed his future First Lady on an epic first date across Chicago’s South Side. Get On Up’s Tika Sumpter will play Michelle Obama (née Robinson), while the search is on to cast the young Barack.

 

Richard Tanne (Worst Friends, The Roman) is helming the indie feature from his own screenplay, and former Warner Independent exec Tracey Bing and Columbia Pictures alumStephanie Allain (Hustle & Flow, Beyond The Lights) are producing for Allain’s Homegrown Pictures. The project originated with Tanne and Sumpter, who developed the script together and will executive produce. Filming is set to begin in July on location in Chicago.

“I took her to this new movie that everybody was talking about, directed by a guy that not that many people had heard of, but it was supposed to be pretty good,” Obama recalled during the film’s 25th anniversary celebration this summer. The site of the Obamas’ first kiss – curbside, outside a Baskin-Robbins in Chicago’s Hyde Park – was commemorated with a city plaque in 2012.

Maybe we'll also get a movie about how Rick Santorum knitted his first sweater-vest.

Biopics tend to need a bit of distance, so let's just make a romcom instead, I guess.

I'm still waiting for the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky biopic

Tika Sumpter is far too attractive in comparison to Michelle.

God damn it, the woman is ROUGH.

 A Before Sunrise version of the Obamas' first date could be something really special.

 

Before Sunset and Before Midnight versions of their later lives could be something else altogether.

[Ethan Hunt]

Hmmm... I do wonder what's so compelling about the Obama's first date that it requires a movie

[Chinoiserie]

Seriously? This is a film?

[Cochofles]

Did I miss something in that description? What's the film they went to see?

You need to watch Before Sunrise to understand how this movie may work.

 

It's another matter if you find the Before trilogy boring. But if you don't, then you will know this could be incredibly compelling.

Thanks!

I told my friends that are at my house that this movie exists and they all responded with

"HOW LONG WAS THEIR DATE?!?!"

[Maxmoser3]

This looks like a limited release type movie.
