Tika Sumpter, Jamie Lee Curtis to Star in Indie Thriller ‘The Pages’
Tika Sumpter, who starred as Michelle Obama in last year’s “Southside With You,” returns to Chicago this week to shoot the indie political thriller “The Pages.”
Jamie Lee Curtis and Ben Tavassoli (BBC’s New Blood) co-star in the feature, which is written and directed by Joe Chappelle, who’s best known for his work directing TV series like “The Wire,” “Fringe” and “Chicago Fire.”
Sumpter plays a former top U.S. security adviser who is threatened by associates from her dark past, including a steely, commanding politician (Curtis) and an unyielding, patriotic chief of staff.
