Don't hate on Jada...
Jada Pinkett-Smith bought the rights to "The Coldest Winter Ever", and I believe she's planning on playing the role. Better her than Lisa Raye, who CANNOT ACT HER WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG. I'd like to see Jada as Winter's mom rather than Winter, but I'd rather see Jada or ANYBODY WHO CAN ACT play Winter instead of Lisa Raye. Rosario Dawson would be good as Winter.
SANTIAGO NEEDS TO BE PLAYED BY JEFFREY WRIGHT (he played Peoples Hernandez in "Shaft" and was in Ali and played MLK Jr. in HBO's "Boycott").
For the role of the oh so fine Midnight, my vote goes to Mekhi Phifer...maybe Omar Epps would be aiight too. My dream Midnight would be the Minnesota Vikings Randy Moss tho - he just seems like Midnight to me for some reason.
Sista Souljah can play herself, LOL.
I think they're making e. lynn harris' "Invisible Life" into a movie for Showtime or something like that. You know showtime has NO PROBLEM showing homosexual sex. The problem will be FINDING BROTHAS TO PLAY THE ROLES. I read somewhere that Showtime's "Queer as Folk" has been desperately seeking black men to be on the show, but no black men want to play a homosexual (even the ones who ARE homosexual, LOL).
I'd love to see "Kindred" by Octavia Butler made into a movie. Also, "The Wind Done Gone" - I loved it and would love to see it made into a movie.
OH, and the BOMB movie is going to be "My Soul To Keep" by Tananarive Due - Blair Underwood has the rights and is making it into a movie (and is starring as David/Dawit). I don't know when it's going to be released tho.
