Tiffany Haddish is set to produce and star in a feature film adaptation of the Dark Horse comic Mystery Girl. The upcoming Netflix film will be directed by McG (Charlie’s Angels, The Babysitter), and will center on Trine (Haddish), a street psychic/detective who has no memory of who she is or where she’s from. Trine is guided by an omniscient voice, which allows her read a person’s history and secrets upon meeting them. Trine teams up with and LAPD officer to solve a crime after they’re both framed for murder.

Mystery Girl was created in 2015 by Paul Tobin (Bandette) and Alberto Alburquerque (Letter 44). Both creators tweeted their excitement for the upcoming film.
