Linda’s manager John Boylan also broke the news of Selena’s new role earlier this month.

Boylan and James Keach, who produced Linda’s 2019 documentary The Sound of My Voice and the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, will be producing the movie together.

With David O. Russell as the director, the title of the movie and other cast members are yet to be disclosed.
