‘Obsession’s’ Inde Navarrette to Star In & Executive Produce Sci-Fi Thriller ‘The Waffle House Index’

The obsession with Inde Navarrette (pictured above in Obsession) continues.

THR reports that the actor is set to star in and executive produce the sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index. And you all, this one sounds insane.

The film “Centers on a Waffle House waitress whose already bad day gets worse when a stranger with a gun shows up during her night shift. What happens after involves a mass flood, killer crocodiles, a nuclear explosion, a magical bunker under the Waffle House, and aliens.”

Inject it into my veins now!

Via the outlet, the title is inspired by The Waffle House Index, an informal barometer of a hurricane’s severity. The levels are based on how much service an area’s Waffle House, a chain that basically operates 24/7, is offering. Green means the restaurant is in full service mode and the damage isn’t severe; yellow means a limited menu, indicating low food supplies; and red is just bad news, a closed restaurant and a sign of unsafe conditions.

Louis Paxton will direct from a script by Andrew Nunnelly.

Apple Films has acquired the project, with Plan B Entertainment producing. Apparently, the deal was for seven figures.

As one of the many who have become a fan of Navarrette, I could not be happier for the actor and her rocket to fame. After starring in the hit horror film Obsession, she has picked up multiple roles, including the trapped-on-a-rollercoaster horror movie, Invertigo, and the role of Rogue in Marvel’s X-Men. The latter speaks to just how popular she’s become, and I’d only expect that popularity to rise, because she’s a phenomenal talent.

Hell, we just reported yesterday that Focus Features is set to campaign hard for Naverrette to take home the Best Actress Oscar for her Obsession role.

We’re obsessed. Apparently, so is everyone else.
