*Anika Noni Rose has signed on for the thriller “Assassination Nation,” which follows four teenage girls in a small suburb who become the focus of unwanted, world-wide media attention after their personal information is leaked by an anonymous hacker.

Rose will suit up as the mother of two of the teens, played by Abra and Suki Waterhouse. Odessa Young and Hari Nef play the two other teenagers.

Rose’s character, according to Variety, is described as an attractive woman with terrible taste in men, who has an unfortunate reputation in the conservative town of Salem. When the mysterious hacker outs her for her various affairs with the town’s married men, she faces scorn, public ridicule and downright abuse from the outraged citizenry.

Sam Levinson, whose credits include “Another Happy Day” and HBO’s upcoming “Wizard of Lies,” is helming from his own screenplay.

Rose won a Tony Award for her role in “Caroline, or Change” and received a Tony nomination “A Raisin In The Sun.” She recently starred in the BET series, “The Quad” and will be seen next month in the Warner Brothers film, “Everything, Everything.”

Her TV credits include “Roots” and the Starz drama, “Power” while feature credits include “Dreamgirls,” “For Colored Girls” and voicing the lead in Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog.”
