Rihanna’s first film role was in the 2012 action movie Battleship, directed by Peter Berg. Rihanna must have impressed him: Berg’s launched a new production company, Film 45, focused on non-scripted and branded entertainment — and Rihanna’s life story is the first project in the pipeline.
The singer’s documentary will give fans an “unfiltered look into Rihanna’s life and how she’s ascended to become a global icon.”
Berg himself will direct the film, which he says will be “much more a character study than a music film,” adding that he’s excited to chronicle “a young artist at the top of her professional field.”
