*Hear ye, hear ye! The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin has someting to say. So, read on loyal subjects … Zoe Saldana probably didn’t hear the last of it when critics (including us) ranted about the poor casting choices and overall shadiness of the filmmaker’s behind the Nina Simone biopic. Instead of choosing someone who [...]
*The TLC (network) biopic of TLC (the group) is definitely going down and we’ve got the first look at what we can expect with the look-a-likes. Keke Palmer is Rozonda “Chili” Thomas, Drew Sidora is Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Lil’ Mama is the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. Evan Ross was picked to play the [...]

*TLC’s immortalizing biopic is going to be as close to the real thing as possible, which means, all the songs will be lip synched.

*Spike Lee apparently doesn’t leave the best taste in Hollywood’s mouth. It’s not that he doesn’t make some dynamic, worth-talking-about films. It’s more like he’s not someone they particularly want to work with … at least that’s the impression producer Brian Grazer gives. Spike was on the list to direct the James Brown biopic, but [...]
*The Aretha Franklin’s biopic is a go, even after the diva demanded her cast be just right. She’s a vocal woman and obviously gets what she wants in life.

*We all knew this was going to be an issue before it even came out. Zoe Saldana has been cast to play the leading role in Nina Simone’s biopic. The casting wasn’t met without some disdain and a bit of protest, some saying that she just can’t be Nina. Maybe the critics are right. She [...]

*Just after celebrating her 70th birthday over the weekend, fans of Aretha Franklin got the sad new that her upcoming biopic has been put on hold. The Queen of Soul told the press that some things are “going on” and the movie is “in a limbo position.” (Are you a fan of EURweb? Like us [...]
