Tika Sumpter To Play First Lady Michelle In Romance Movie About The Obamas

Ever wondered what a romantic date night would be like for the POTUS and First Lady? Now you may get your chance!

In a newly announced romantic drama titled, "Southside With You" viewers will get a front row seat to witness how future President Barack Obama, swept the First Lady, off her feet.

The movie will chronicle the Obama's first date in 1989, and feature 'The Haves And Have Nots' actress, Tika Sumpter, as the younger Michelle (Robinson). For now, the search continues for the "perfect" younger Barack.

So what can we expect to see from this romance? According to the FLOTUS something that's pretty "cool."

When speaking of their first date during an interview, Michelle said, "It was a cool date actually, we spent the whole day together...He was showing me all facets of his character...He was hip, cutting edge, cultural, sensitive." The FLOTUS continued her praise of the Prez by adding that he was also very "patient."

The film will be directed by Richard Tenne and produced by Tracey Bing and Stephanie Allain (you may recognize Allain's work in 'Hustle & Flow' and most recently 'Beyond The Lights')

Well I'm game for watching! Are you?
