Rebel Wilson Bags Record Label Deal With Warner Music Ahead Of Her Directorial Debut
The "Pitch Perfect" star's recent achievement was announced in an exclusive interview with Deadline. The recording group partnered with the Teen Choice Award winner to launch her career as a record label owner with the venture, Rebellionaire.
Opening up about her unique label's name, the mother of one explained, "Take the 'b' out of billionaire and replace it with an 'r' for Rebel." The new record company shall release its first album featuring the songs from the "Isn't It Romantic" star's upcoming movie.
The TV personality shall make her directorial debut in the film "The Deb," a musical reportedly set in Australia and scheduled to begin shooting in October. The movie's soundtrack would be released by Rebellionaire sometime next year alongside the film's premiere.
Wilson has first introduced to the movie "3 1⁄2 years ago," thanks to the scholarship program she actively supported at Sydney's Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP). Recalling how it happened, the media personality explained:
"Basically, one young person wins it, and then I mentor them for a year, and as part of it, they have to pitch a show and write the show and hopefully finish it by the end of the year."
"The Deb," written by Hannah Reilly, follows the adventures of three girls whose lives were changed when one of them was expelled from her high-class school in the city. The booted-out girl then struggles to adjust to the life of a farm girl in a reclusive town far from her usual comforts.
The comedian previously raved about her upcoming film on Instagram, sharing a carousel of images from a yacht-themed photoshoot. The "Senior Year" star took advantage of her time at the Cannes Film Festival to take stunning pictures at the French Riviera.
In the slideshow, the Australian beauty posed with a group of women, presumable "The Deb" movie team members. The gang included fellow actresses Charlotte MacInnes, Natalie Abbott, and Stevie Jean.
The 43-year-old donned a black and white mid-length sleeveless dress paired with white pumps, while the other women opted for flowing, silky gowns that reached their ankles. The group appeared in good spirits, dancing around the yacht and even jumping into the sea.
Wilson traded her black and white dress for a red sleeveless gown down the photo dump. The outfit's design was similar to the first garment, but the second dress boasted a shorter length, flaunting the mother of one's legs.
"Announcing my directorial DEB-Ut at the Cannes Film Festival today with these incredible stars. The movie is called 'The Deb,'" the MTV Movie Award winner announced in her caption.
"And it is an original Australian musical about a teen girl going to her debutante ball in a country town," the multi-hyphenate star continued, adding that she could not wait to begin filming and share the finished result with her fans.
The 'How to Be Single' Star Was Getting Her Body In Shape For An Action Movie
Weeks before her directorial debut announcement, the Australian beauty revealed she was maintaining her banging figure and getting fitter than ever for a role in a new movie. The comedian has been turning heads since launching her weight loss journey in 2020.
After losing incredible weight to obtain her sexy new image, the "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" star landed a role in the upcoming action-comedy "Bride Hard." The movie follows the story of a "badass secret agent" named Sam (played by Wilson).
