00:00Attention, Rihanna Navy! The Needed Me singer just scored a massive payday from Amazon.
00:08The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal that the streaming service has landed worldwide
00:13rights to a documentary about Rihanna, directed by Peter Berg. Sources say Amazon paid $25 million
00:19for the untitled film's rights in a move that reflects last week's $25 million Apple TV Plus
00:25deal for a Billie Eilish doc. Amazon declined to comment. Now Navy, this is the info you need to know.
00:30The untitled documentary, which Berg began working on years ago, is dubbed an unfiltered look into
00:36Rihanna's life, providing a glimpse into the evolution of one of the world's most well-known
00:40pop artists. With unparalleled access into the singer's life and more than 1,200 hours of footage,
00:46the doc offers private insights into Rihanna's personality, sense of humor, work ethic, family, and love.
00:55Don't leave me stuck here in the streets.
00:58Berg previously told THR about the Underwraps project that was a fun change of pace to go travel
01:03with Rihanna around Europe. Berg and Rihanna have worked together previously on Battleship.
01:08Like the Billie Eilish doc, the Rihanna film was shot to multiple distributors, with streamers
01:12making the most aggressive offers. All right, for more on this story, head to THR.com.
01:17Until next time, for The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.
