This is exciting news! I love all these actresses!
D you took the words out of my mouth. All these women are fiiine. They should make one big movie together and holla at yo boy to star in it wit em.
That's good to hear, Danielle!
I'm especially excited about Starship Dave (a good script! not sure how the movie will turn out) and Denzel's new project. And anything with Idris Elba, is always exciting, lol.
Ooh I already want to see the Kerry Washington and Mos Def movie. I'm gonna marry Mos Def regardless of how many babies mamas he got.
I thought Paula Patton was Alicia Keys!!! God they look alike.
Lol @ Joy!!!
Mos does have that effect on women...this one included. ; )
It is good to see all these black actresses just plain WORKING. I remember when they used to only allow one black woman to work at a time (yeah I'm talking about Halle Berry). I love the diversity that all these women have to offer and enjoy them all for different reasons. Go on girls!
"Bury Me Standing" is a film written and (will be) directed by NYU alumn CARAN HARTSFIELD: a rising black FEMALE filmmaker. I was dissapointed to see a typo in an article regarding Caran as "him" and "he". She's paving the way for young filmmakers like myself and I appreciate Cocoa Lounge for keeping us posted on such matters...
Kimberly Elise is my favorite actress so its always a pleasure to know she's going to be in something new. I'm looking forward to seeing the Great debaters when it comes out.
It is good to hear the up and coming movies of our beautiful black actresses. We really do not see them enough in the media and they deserve the attention because these women are so talented!!!
paula patton looks just like jennifer lopez (before she (jennifer) got the blond fever)
what ever happened to the dark sisters in the world of mainstream visuals? I think Miles Davis said it best when he stated
".........I don't like milk in my coffee"
"don't be a coconut, brown on the outside and white on the inside"
