EXCLUSIVE: Following the success of their Academy Award-winning Warner Bros drama King Richard, based on their own life stories, tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams have teamed with Oscar-nominated Tár producer Alexandra Milchan to develop En Garde, a new feature to be adapted for the screen and directed by the duo known as as Bush Renz (Antebellum).
The forthcoming film is based on the New York Times bestselling book Black Brother, Black Brother by award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes, which was published by Little, Brown in 2020. It tells the story of two bi-racial brothers — one white-presenting; the other, Black — who must navigate the unforgiving social constructs and institutions of an elite Connecticut prep high school. When the darker-skinned brother’s future is threatened by his arch-nemesis, he seeks out the counsel of an Olympic fencing champion to beat him at his own game.
Venus Williams will be joined as a producer by Serena Williams for 926 Productions, Milchan for Emjag Productions (Tár, Black Bird), Isha Price (King Richard) and Lara Shriftman, with Emjag’s Martin Salgo co-producing.

The pair were named to Out100‘s list of the Most Influential LGBTQ+ People in America that same year.
