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:
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
“Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man’s ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or despatched as microfilm into the sidereal void.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
