Exclusive: Two-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo (Harriet) is to star in and produce sci-fi feature Blink Speed for Netflix.
The Trial Of The Chicago 7 and Molly’s Game producer Matt Jackson will also produce.

Grammy, Tony, and Emmy winner Erivo is producing with Salome Williams under Erivo’s Edith’s Daughter banner. Jackson is producing for Jackson Pictures with Joanne Lee aboard as exec producer for the same company.
Erivo will next be seen in Disney’s Pinocchio with Tom Hanks...
