(Kerry Washington in For Colored Girls)
Tyler Perry's new film For Colored Girls, based on the award-winning play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Was Enuf, will be released on November 5, 2010.
It stars a veritable Who's Who of actors: Janet Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Loretta DeVine, Kimberly Elise, Thandie Newton, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose and Kerry Washington. It also stars Michael Ealy, Macy Gray, Omari Hardwick, Hill Harper, Khalil Kain, Richard Lawson and Tessa Thompson.
The film trailer looks promising, but as with all things Tyler Perry, the trailer is no indication of the quality of the final product. Let's hope Tyler Perry isn't up to his usual fuckery with this one. Perhaps co-writer Nzingha Stewart has enough creative muscle to make up for Tyler's lack thereof.
Personally, I thought Eve's Bayou director Kasi Lemmons would have been a better choice as director for this film.
