Universal Pictures announced earlier today that they have entered into a first-look production agreement with Janelle Monáe’s Wondaland Pictures, the film division of her multimedia company Wondaland.

Monáe, her managing partner Mikael Moore, Creative Director Chuck Lightning and Executive Producer Nate Wonder, Wondaland and Universal Pictures will develop multi-genre content while bringing light to championing underrepresented voices and groundbreaking perspectives.

This deal will also strengthen the collaborative relationship that the singer and actress has with Universal: She stars in Universal’s upcoming Robert Zemeckis-directed movie Welcome to Marwen, which will be out on Dec. 21.

“There is an exciting, artistic revolution taking place in our industry, and Janelle and the talented team at Wondaland are at the forefront,” said Donna Langley, Chairman, Universal Pictures. “Their forward-thinking, inclusive approach to content and storytelling make them a perfect fit for our studio.”
