Rutina Wesley is moving on up and onto the big screen! The 32 year old brunette beauty is set to take the lead in Left To Tell, a biopic about Rwandan author and motivational speaker Immaculee Ilibagiza.

Here are further details from Deadline.com:

Ilibagiza’s life was dramatically transformed during the 1994 Rwandan genocide campaign where she and seven other women spent 91 days, huddled silently together in a cramped bathroom of a local pastor’s home. Entering the bathroom a vibrant, 115-pound university student with a loving family, she came out of that room weighing 65 pounds, and soon learned that most of her family had been brutally murdered.

Rutina is also gearing up to premiere season four of the HBO supernatural hit, True Blood on Sunday, June 26th, 2011.

Congrats!
