Inde Navarrette Eyes Oscars Glory
Star of blockbuster hit 'Obsession' to be pushed for Best Actress nomination as she lands new role in sci-fi thriller 'The Waffle House Index'
Inde Navarrette is set to star in and executive produce the sci-fi thriller 'The Waffle House Index' for Apple Original Films. The movie, directed by Louis Paxton, is based on a script by Andrew Nunnelly that landed on the 2025 Black List.
The script centers on a Waffle House waitress whose already bad day gets worse when a stranger with a gun shows up during her night shift. The story involves a mass flood, killer crocodiles, a nuclear explosion, a magical bunker under the Waffle House, and aliens.
In addition to her work on 'The Waffle House Index', Navarrette's studio will also push for her to receive a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars for her role in 'Obsession', which has grossed over $505 million worldwide.
Navarrette has been building out her slate in recent months, including landing the role of Rogue in the upcoming X-Men movie. She has also appeared in the CW series Superman & Lois and the fourth and final season of Netflix's 13 Reasons Why.
## What's next The production of 'The Waffle House Index' is the latest collaboration between Plan B Entertainment and Apple Studios. Plan B is led by Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner, and has produced several notable films, including the arty horror movie Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.
## Why it matters The push for Navarrette to receive a Best Actress nomination for 'Obsession' is a significant development in her career. With the success of 'Obsession' and her upcoming roles in 'The Waffle House Index' and the X-Men movie, Navarrette is solidifying her position as a leading actress in Hollywood. The outcome of the Oscar nomination process will be closely watched, and could have a significant impact on her future career prospects.
The Waffle House Index is an informal barometer of a hurricane's severity, based on whether a local Waffle House is operating normally, serving a limited menu, or closed altogether. The levels are based on how much service an area's Waffle House is offering, with green indicating full service, yellow indicating a limited menu, and red indicating a closed restaurant and unsafe conditions.
