I don't know how many of you are following the Nina Simone movie that was once supposed to be done with Mary J Blige, but now she has been replaced with Zoe Saldana. This current casting has called many people to questioned why not reach out to Ms. Hill whom many feel is the perfect casting to portray Ms. Simone. Well, now rapper Qtip posted on twitter that he wish producers will reach out to Ms. Hill because he know for a fact she would be interested in playing Ms. Simone. I thought this was really awesome to read if she has made it known that she will like to play her and all it will take is producers reaching out to her to be apart of the movie....here is Qtip's tweet: "@qtiptheabstract: I wish someone would reach out to miss lauryn hill abt Nina Simone movie. I know for a fact she would be receptive".

I think the film is not going to be a biopic. Viola Davis, Jennifer Hudson or even our Lauryn could play an excellent Nina. They're all triple threats but we'll have to wait and see. Apparently Nina Simone's daughter said that her mother wanted Whoopi Goldberg to play her on the big screen.

Thank you. I will keep you guys posted Seems like Ms. Mort is intent on moving forward with this “biopic” despite the many objections concerning her selecting Saldana for the role and with the focus of the movie, i.e. her creating a composite (whatever that means) love story based on Nina relationship with her caretaker, who was gay  . They start filming this week. I was interested in the movie before finding out more about it. Now, it's just whatev, especially since Nina’s family is not pleased. I’m sure if Ms. Hill would have read the script, she probably would have declined anyway. Maybe in the future, somebody can make a real biopic of Nina's life and consider her daughter's words: "My mother's life was tragic enough. My mother suffered enough. Her life is full of enough wonderful and tragic true things to make a hit movie. You don't have to embellish her story." |

Article about movie: Is Makeup Enough? Zoe Saldana On The Set of Nina Simone BiopicOctober 22, 2012 by Clutch Nina Simone’s biopic is currently filming and Zoe Saldana has been cast as the lead. Despite a public outcry when Zoe’s role was first announced, director Cynthia Mort and crew have went forward with production. Instead of choosing another lead, the film producers just got creative with makeup. Photos surfaced from the set of the film, and Shadow and Act notes the images, which were submitted by a reader, are not official and we can’t be sure which stage of the makeup process Zoe was captured in. However, we can tell that Zoe appears darker, with a wider nose, fake teeth and an afro wig. For some, the photo begs the question: why not just hire an actress that actually resembles Nina Simone? It will be interesting to see if Zoe’s performance will keep audiences from being distracted by this elaborate makeup job.  www.clutchmagonline.com/2012/10/is-makeup-enough-zoe-saldana-on-the-set-of-nina-simone-biopic/ |
