Inde Navarrette is raising her heat index in Hollywood…
The 25-year-old Mexican-Australian actress is attached to star in The Waffle House Index, with Apple Original Films recently landing rights to the package.
Plan B is on board to produce, with Louis Paxton attached to direct.
Andrew Nunnelly penned the script, which landed on the 2025 Black List.
Full plot details are under wraps, but the Black List logline noted that the “Waffle House Index” is a metric use by FEMA to measure the severity of a natural disaster, and Jane works the graveyard shift at her local Waffle House with a storm coming.
Apple Studios will serve as the studio and Plan B will produce.
In addition to starring, Navarrette will serve as executive producer.
Following her acclaimed breakout role in the blockbuster hit Obsession, Navarrette has had her fair share of meetings and offers from which to choose in recent months, with this script at the top of her list.
The package began coming together in August, with sources saying Apple moved quickly to land rights. Sources say Apple paid in the low-seven figure range for package.
Recently landing the role of Rogue in Marvel’s upcoming X-Men marks a major new chapter for Navarrette, who first broke onto the scene with her portrayal of Estela De La Cruz in the fourth and final season of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why.
She also appeared in the CW series Superman & Lois.
