Lisa and David then reportedly tapped "Booksmart" and "Don't Worry Darling" screenwriter Katie Silberman to pen a script.
David will produce the film through Middle Child Productions studio. Katie will always produce as she has an exclusive, multi-year creative partnership with Netflix, in fact she is writing "Most Dangerous Game" for the platform.
Apart from acting, Lisa will serve as executive producer alongside Alice Kang, Lisa's colleague in her management label LLOUD.
Lisa was recently presented as an ambassador by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and is currently preparing for the release of Blackpink's fourth extended play "Deadline."
