“I know what school I’m applying to! So thrilled to welcome Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington to the School for Good and Evil! Everyone, prepare to get schooled!” Feig wrote on Twitter.
According to Variety, Universal had the initial offer for The School for Good and Evil; however, Netflix acquired the rights in 2020. The movie is scheduled to be released in 2022, and it is currently under production at Belfast Harbour Studios in Northern Ireland.

Save the Last Dance turns 20 years old today 😱😱😱😱😱!” the actress wrote on Instagram. “Playing Chenille changed my life. I read that script and I felt like I KNEW her. At the time, I also knew the narrative that was being served in culture about who Black teen moms are. And I knew that if done right, this was an opportunity to transform some stereotyped thinking and make this young woman REAL. And human. And deserving of love and attention.”
