Bebe Rexha Makes Acting Debut in Comedy, ‘Queenpins’ with Kristen Bell
Singer-songwriter, Bebe Rexha will make her feature film debut in Queenpins starring opposite Kristen Bell and Vince Vaughn.
Queenpins is a crime comedy film that is inspired by a true story of the largest coupon counterfeit scam in history. The movie centers around a suburban housewife (Bell) who is tired of being overlooked by her husband and society. She vows to take control of her life by starting an illegal coupon club, scamming millions of dollars from food companies with her fellow coupon clippers. Rexha is set to play Tempe Tiana, an eccentric computer hacker who helps the film’s protagonist with the coupon scam. The female-fronted comedy cast includes Vince Vaughn, Paul Walter Hauser, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.
Previously, Bebe Rexha has voiced a role in STX’s animated family film, UglyDolls. She is also a Grammy-nominated artist, best known for her songs “Meant to Be,” “I’m a Mess” and “Me, Myself & I.” She is represented by UTA, Sal & Co., and attorney Kenny Meiselas of Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks.
“This is a perfect film for Bebe to be making her live-action film debut. She’s an incredible talent and international superstar and we love her for this role as Tempe Tina, an eccentric computer hacker who helps our heroines with their coupon scam. We know she will add so much fun, talent and personality to this cast,” said Adan Fogelson, chairman of the STXfilms Motion Picture Group.
Queenpins is written and directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly while produced by AGC Studios, Marquee Entertainment, and Red Hour Films. STX will handle distribution in the U.S., U.K., and Ireland. The studio will also handle international distribution through its network of global partners.
Bebe Rexha’s fans are very excited for the pop star to become a triple threat: singer, songwriter, and actress. They share the same excitement as Rexha to make her huge feature film debut for Queenpins.
