Idris Elba Producing a New Film (‘Swift’),

*British actor Idris Elba is rolling up his sleeves and is getting ready to produce a new film, “Swift,” starring Charlize Theron and Tulisa Contostavlos.



Seems Idris Elba is making some serious moves with his new producer’s hat. While promoting Demons Never Die, a horror film directed by Arjun Rose which he produced that’s being released in UK cinemas on October 28th, the always-busy actor apparently offered a role to former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos in his new upcoming drama Swift.

We told you about Swift, which re-teams Rose and Elba, back in April. The film is described as “a coming of age story set in East London during the run up to the London Olympics” and will feature Elba as a disgraced sports agent.

The synopsis for the film reads:

After witnessing the murder of his father as a child in a drug related shooting, Corey Johnson or “Swift” as he is known on the streets of East London, is destined for a life of crime…. That is until a chance meeting with Max (Idris Elba) a troubled, washed-up sports agent shows him that there is another path… Recognizing Swift’s uncanny ability to run, Max has high hopes of training him to compete at the London Olympics, but Swift’s world won’t let him go without a fight.

Reportedly, Charlize Theron will play an American sportswoman who will go head to head with Tulisa in the film. Tulisa currently co-stars in Demons Never Die as well. Stay tuned for more info on the project. Elba also acts as producer for the webseries Milk and Honey.

Below is a clip of Elba speaking at the premiere of Demons Never Die.

After Destiny's Child bandmate Beyoncé revealed she and husband Jay-Z. are expecting their first child at the MTV VMA awards show, Kelly Rowland, commented, she was destined to have a child, and she'll be wonderful at it.

"I have known for quite a while, and she's happy, and Jay is happy, and that's all that counts," Rowland, 30, told PEOPLE Sunday at the House of Hype VMAs afterparty.

"I think she'll be an incredible mother, because she's always been motherly. I think that she takes after so many traits from her mother. And I just think it's going to be so natural for her. Its natural for her now!"

Now Kelly is enjoying her biggest success as a solo artist with the hit single “Motivation,” which she showed off with a provocative VIBE cover shoot and performance at this year’s BET Awards, and continues to float above the swirl of rumors that have dogged her since the early days of Destiny’s Child.
