Film
In 2009, Williams announced that she was in the planning stages of making a movie about her life. Queen of All Media was written by Kimba Henriques, with Robin Givens in the lead role of Wendy Williams. Filming wrapped up in late August 2009 and was set to be released in 2011. After Wendy's talk show premiered, producers thought the movie needed a different ending, which they filmed August 26 of 2009. Wendy announced this on her radio show and added that she wasn't really sure when it would be released.
Other notable cast members include Angel Lola Luv, Trey Songz, Lil' Kim, Chandra 'Deelishis' Davis, and Thea Vidale.
She appeared in the film adaptation of Steve Harvey's best-selling book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
