Exclusive: Janelle Monáe has come aboard The Glorias: A Life on the Road, the Gloria Steinem biopic that has Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander playing the feminist and social-political activist at various stages of her life. Julie Taymor is directing the film which is based on Steinem’s memoir.
This seems like a befitting project for Monáe who, like Steinem, is an outspoken human rights advocate. Earlier this year, the multiple Grammy nominee called for a Time’s Up in the music industry to end discrimination, inequality, harassment and the abuse of power.
The Glorias will follow Steinem’s journey to become a crusader for equal rights and her groundbreaking work as a journalist and campaigner.
Alex Saks is producing the pic, via Fifty-Four Pictures, with Taymor and Lynn Hendee. Steinem and Amy Richards are exec producers as filming is slated to start January in Savannah, Ga.
