Wow! I really can’t wait to see this movie!

About time the promo came out. How come on the poster they didn’t include the names of the two other women?

*scratches head*

Oh for that reason. I don’t even know their names…LOL!

um…YAY?

Because, that’s who’s staring; the main characters. I am really excited for Beyonce because this will be where she really shows her actin’ chops!!! I am for sure going to see this film. Just to see all those beautiful black ppl acting simotaniously in one featured film is phenomenal!!! I would love to see more films like this

i dont care about this movie…….i dont know why they are shouting oscar buzz about this…..it seems to commercial and just cause jamie foxx in it dont mean its gonna be off the hook

The girl in the middle looks like Beyonce’s silhouette…working that flat azz!

The trailer works best with just the headliners, but Anika Noni Rose and Jennifer Hudson from American Idol are the other two gurls!

They don’t include the other 2 because they’re highlighting the main characters. If you really want to know, the one on the right is Jennifer Hudson [of American Idol] and the left, Anika Noni Rose [Broadway chick].

I can NOT wait to see this film. It’s going to be my Christmas present. I’ve been DYINGGGG for it. It was my desktop for a hot min. I wish i could have heard “AIATY”, Jennifer Hudson’s interepretation before it got pulled.

I can’t wait to see this Movie, I’m sure it’s going to be worth watching. Nice Poster…

@ Meatloaf, Thanks, I also could’nt remember the other two girls’ names.

ACTUALLY THE STORY IS MORE ABOUT THE EFFIE (JENIFFER HUDSON) AND DEENA(BEYONCE) ABOUT HOW BEYONCE TOOK HER SHINE AND THEY REPLACED EFFIE AND MADE DEENA LEAD SOUNDS LIKE BEYONCE IS LIVING OUT HER LIFE STORY IF U ASK ME WHAT A WHORE….J-HUD’S NAME SHOULD BE ON THAT POSTER! BUT IM STILL GOING 2 SEE THE MOVIE THOUGH SO I CAN GET PUT OUT THE THEATER FOR SINGING

ok and?

Why isn’t Jennifer Hudson’s name included ????
This is nonsense……….

@9 THE STORY MIGHT BE MORE ABOUT J-HUD’S CHARACTER BUT THEY PUT BIG NAMES ON THE POSTER TO SELL THE MOVIE. LET’S NOT START THIS CUS THE STANS WILL BE COMIN IN HERE IN PACKS.

THIS MOVIE GONNA BE THE SHIT. IM RUNNIN MY ASS DOWN TO THE MOVIE THEATER WHEN THIS COMES OUT. I HOPE EVERYBODY’S ACTING IS UP TO PAR……

Jennifers name is on the poster, It’s at the bottom credits. So is Anika noni Rose’s name. Jennifer’s name is not highlighted because this is her first film role. It’s all movie politics. DOn’t worry though, once the movie comes out it won’t matter who’s name was highlighted on the poster. Jenn will get her recognition.

Im anticipating this movie…I just hope its worth all the hoopla….Nice poster

I want to see this movie too. I wish them good luck on this movie because with Will(block buster)Smith coming out with a movie on the same day I don’t know what the results wille be. I hope they both do good.

why does everybody rant and rave about beyonce’s acting when every movie she’s in, she’s SINGING? she’s not acting, she’s just doing herself

No thanks. Not on my top 10 movies to see…maybe I’ll wait till it comes out on bootleg. Beyonce does not strike me as a good actress. Maybe she’ll prove me wrong in this movie…but I doubt it.

BEYONCE IS MY GURL AND IM PROUD OF HER!!!!!!! AND IM GLAD SHE GETTIN TO REALLY SHOW ERBODY SHE GOT SKILLZ.WOW NUMBA 5 YOU DONT SEE HISTORY IN DA MAKIN!!!

@ least Anika & Jennifer names are some where on the poster. Y’all know how Hollywierd is about acting credits & stuff. No matter how great your performance is in the movie, they ain’t about to put your name on shit if they feel your name can’t draw people to the movies.

#5 There is never Oscar buzz unless the movie is Oscar worthy. Do a little research on Dreamgirls and find out why the Broadway play was so popular & successful.

I think this movie is gonna be good…I got a good feeling about “Dreamgirls”.

I have a real big feeling that Jennifer Hudson is really gonna do her thing…

I can’t wait 2 see the movie and get on bootleg also. Beyonce is very successful. Don’t like her new album at all. She is great at both do. Acting and singing fit her well.

“Big Names” sell & no matter how much we love JenHud her name on a billboard will “not” reach the masses! So of course they have to plug who we know & as for:

#5: i dont care about this movie…….i dont know why they are shouting oscar buzz about this…..it seems to commercial and just cause jamie foxx in it dont mean its gonna be off the hook.

Oscar buzz usually stems from those who have seen the movie already ie: it premiered in the UK already!

The pic looks like 3 pics of the smae girl i.e. Beyonce.

carmen: the hiphopera= she sang
goldmember= she sang
fighting temptations= she sang
pink panther= she sang
dreamgirls= singing some more

can she do a movie WITHOUT SINGING?! we know you can do that already sweetie

@ Meatloaf LMAO you know you a mess!

This movie is going to be boring as hell! WOMP! WOMP!

THIS IS JUST A QUESTION…I KNOW BEY IS SAYING SHE’S EXCITED CAUSE SHE FEELS THIS IS HER FIRST REAL ACTING ROLE THAT’S GOING TO ESTABLISH HER AS A REAL ACTRESS, BUTTTTTTT, MY QUESTION IS, “IS IT REALLY ACTING WHEN YOU’RE PLAYING YOURSELF!” I MEAN IF SHE WAS PLAYING A CRACKHEAD, OR A SCHOOL TEACHER, OR A MOTHER WITH FIVE KIDS, OR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN A SINGER TRYING TO COME UP, MAYBE I WOULD SEE IT HER WAY…SORRY, I DON’T THINK IT’S HARD TO PLAY YOURSELF CAUSE YOU CAN SIMPLY DRAW OFF YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES. I’M GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE, AND UNLESS THIS MOVIE HAS A HUGE VARIATIONS IN THE DRAMATICS, AND SHE HAS TO REALLY BE HUGELY DRAMATIC, I STILL WON’T SEE BEY BEING LEGITIMIZED AS A REAL ACTRESS UNTIL SHE PLAYS OUT OF CHARACTER. JUST MY OPINION.

I FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT WHITNEY WHEN SHE STARRED IN “THE BODYGUARD.” I LOVE WHITNEY, BUT REALLY, WAS THAT MOVIE REALLY CHALLENGING…..NOT!!!! YET, IT ESTABLISHED HER AS A REAL MOVIE STAR, THE SAME WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN FOR BEY.

I live in the UK and its not out yet..

at 27…it isn’t out, I said it premiered (it was invitation only)!

I WILL RIGHT IN THE DAMN THEATER WITH MY SCREW FACE ON(PROBABLY GLUED TO THE DAMN SEAT)

@ JScene - Word.

I didn;t know Jamie and Eddie were so curvy.

I think Jennifer Hudson beat Fantasia out for her part!

Anyhow, I have copies of the movie if anyone is interested! *wink*

Holla at ME Meatloaf!! hee hee

I think i will wait for the DvD.

Imma go see it BUT…its true about bey always singing…let me see her play a crackhead like Halle then we can call her a real actress until then…shes a singer acting. They movie goin be fire though cuz i bet Bey can play the hell outta a singer!!LMAO!

im not goin to even bother seeing this movie because anything with beyonce in it is a flop in my eyes.

the chick cannot act!!! im sorry but am i the only one who can see that??

chick needs to stick with singin and she also needs to get rid of her ugly midevil clothing line. that shit is over priced and ugly as hell.

If I were Jennifer or Anika, I’d be pissed that they used Bee’s silhouette for everybody. I don’t think she cares that her name is in microscopic print at the bottom, but they could have at least put her body on the poster.

i’ll watch it on basic cable….if there’s no good cartoon on…
Now the Departed…that is a must see….

None of tose girls in that promo pic are Jennifer, Jennifer is a thick sista, she ain’t that damn skinny.
Anyway I love Jen, Jamie and Bee and can not wait for this movie!
Jen needs to put out a CD and quick!!

Where is J-Hud on that poster…I KNOW her silhouette is not that size. Ur right Dave…I see all 3 Bey’s

#36, I agree, man they are always OVER doing beyonce. HOw dare them use her body in every picture, and then dont even put Jennifer’s name on the poster, not to mention the fact that JENNIFER SOUNDS WAY BETTER THAN BEYONCE. Jennifer can sing her butt off. This is why Im getting this on bootleg, its not worth my nine bucks to go see!!

Beyonce just always has to be the “center” of it all. EVEN WITH DESTINY’ CHILD. Its always been about Bey, Bey, Bey,. I like her, but to over do it is something else!!

If she gets a Acedmy Award for this, Im TOO through!!

OR AN OSCAR, WHATEVER

Jennifer Hudson name isnt included because she a fucking nobody!!! Dont be mad at Beyonce because her name alone attracts millions…..

By the way…..I will be going to see this on Christmas Day!!

Like it or not its called star power thats why Beyonce is up front its business the got to use ppl who can fill the seat Jamie Edie and Beyonce
This is the only movie Beynce ever audition for she said the rest of her movies were given to her.
Everyone is talking about Jennifer Hudson singing “Am teling you” she did a good job but I this “Listen” by Beyonce might just steal the show

Why y’all waiting until Christmas, when you could be watching the $#!T right now for $10. Niggas know they be bootleggin!

#35 said: “… ugly midevil clothing line..” LMAO. The is the best HOD description I’ve ever seen!

I’m really looking forward to this movie! I love these big budget musicals and it’s always nice to see our people doing the damn thing. As far as Beyonce’s acting chops go? While I’m sure there are plenty of other black actresses who are far more talented and experienced than her who could do justice to the role, she’s a big name and that’s what sells. It might suck seeing black acting roles being loss to rappers and r&b singers, but hey at least it’s better than loosing it to Angelina in black face! Lol

I’ll reserve my judgment for when I see the movie. Even if Beyonce doesn’t act well, I’m sure she’ll look fabulous and the performance scenes w/ be off the hook!

Oh and btw, if she were to win an Oscar for this…good for her! Mediocre white actresses have been winning for years!

OKAY, ALL 3 OF THOSE GIRLS ON THE POSTER IS BEYONCE………..

@43 TYRA

DAMN, WHY YOU GOTTA CALL JENNIFER HUDSON A NOBODY, SHE MUST BE MORE OF A BODY THAN YOU, SHE’S IN A MOVIE! I CAN’T WAIT TO BE A NOBODY LIKE HER ON THE REAL!

AND DAMN, SO WHAT BEY CAN PUT ASSES IN THE SEATS, IF I WERE HER, I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE USED THAT WAY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY OFFERED ME, ESPECIALLY IF I WANT TO BE CONSIDERED A TRIPLE THREAT, INSTEAD I WOULD WANT PEOPLE TO COME WATCH MY PERFORMANCE NOT FOR THE STAR POWER, BUT FOR THE ACTING TALENT ALONE. IF THAT’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT, THEN WHY NOT JUST GO TO THE CORNER STORE AND MAKE EVERYBODY PAY $10.00 TO GET IN, CAUSE THAT’S THE EQUIVALENT OF COMING TO SEE A SINGER PLAY THEIR DAMN SELF IN A MOVIE! THERE’S NO WAY SHE CAN GO WRONG WITH THIS FILM, IT SHOULD BE AS EASY AS BREATHING…I THINK…CAUSE HER OTHERS PERFORMANCES IN THE OTHER MOVIES WERE LESS THAN REMARKABLE, DARE I SAY A FUCKIN FLOP IN PINK PANTHER! SHE WAS OKAY IN THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS, AND IN GOLDMEMBER SHE PLAYED HER SILLY SELF…SO WHILE I’M GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE, I’M NOT SEEING IT BECAUSE OF HER, I’M COMING TO SEE WHAT JENNIFER HUDSON GOT, AND FOR THE ESTABLISHED ACTORS, IF BEY HAPPENS TO WOW ME IN THE PROCESS, WELL OH WELL, I GOT AN EXTRA.

Beyonce is truly good in this movie. I am not just saying that. I got to see footage of the girl acting and she has really stepped her game up. You all got to remember this is not being directed by some nickle and dime person. It’s BILL CONDON, an Oscar award winning director. He will not just let any old shit fly, he was in the back of the Imperial theatre when DREAMGIRLS debute don Broadway in 81′. Beyonce had to audition for the part something she nver had to do with her othe rmovies. Bill didn’t even want her in the movie but she impressed them at her audition. For once put your bias and your hate for the girl aside and look at the larger picture.Can you just give the girl the benefit of the doubt. If we don’t go support this movie (positive black movie at that) than what’s the epoint of people complaining about their not being enough positive African-American movies. There’s no gangbanging or Niggas or any of that. It’s just pure drama, great music, beautiful costumes and lot’s of fun. What’s os wrong about that?

*Stepping down from my soapbox

P.S. The poster and who is on it is movie politics. There are mangaers etc who help to negotiate that kind of stuff. Jennifer Hudson will be introduced properly on screen so stop sweating it. She ain’t even been in one film and you all wnat to give her headlining credits. It does not work that way and people who handle that won’t even let that happen. SORRY!

#35 you are not the only one who sees that Bey can’t act!! Trust me, you hit that right on the head. She acts worse than Lisa Raye and her ass can’t act. Maybe since Bey had an acting coach for this job, she will do a little better, but I really doubt it. At least I know she will do great with the singing parts.

Thank you, Soda!

I’ll cop the bootleg.

3 for $5! 3 for $5!

Meatloaf: The girl in the middle looks like Beyonce’s silhouette…working that flat azz!

Leave it to meaty-Meatloaf to bring that up, it is what it is…THERE’S HOPE FOR ME AFTER ALL!!!!!!!

alright….woo-hoo. whateva.

no really, i’ve been anticipating this one for a minute. beyonce better not disappoint. i already sold her album back to the wherehouse (what?! it wasn’t my payday weekend- i needed the money!!!) but what’s up with the silhouettes?! i thought jennifer hudson was a lil thick?! sigh…….superficial a** hollywood.

I just looked at the trailer (not the intro, skip that) for Dreamgirls on Dreamworks’ website, and the movie looks like it will be okay. Of course, there is a scene between Deena and Effie (Bey and J.Hud), and umm…I’ll just say umm. Regardless, I will support it.

The movie poster does look very generic; perhaps the movie studio will release different posters before December. However, I understand the movie poster–portray Dreamgirls as a movie with universal themes FIRST, and a predominantly black cast SECOND.

I just hope people don’t prematurely compare this movie to Chicago or Rent. But then again, Renee Zellweger was no singer, and wow did she take Roxie Hart to another level (what intensive training will do for you). I’ll leave it at that so I won’t draw a false analogy since I only saw clips of the movie.

lol@ 37

It looks like they used Beyonce for all three poses and then superimposed the pictures together to make it look like it was, J-Hud, Bee, and Anika Noni. Just my perception…

word meatloaf
why wait till xmas when you can advanced screening now
lol

I will definently go see this movie with some friends on Chritmas night.

I think it will be worth the watch.

Proud Beyonce fan here…What! This post doesn’t have 400 posts already??? hmmmm…interesting

#52, Wow I need to go to your bootleg guy, My guy is 3 for 10!! lol

I can’t wait 4 this movie to come out!!!!!!

What’s wit all you house niggas accepting them not putting Jennifer Hudson’s frame on the poster as movie politics? Black folks excusing that is some bullshit, y’all now better then to accept whitey’s rules. Black folks done sold out that much that they now excusing white tatics and pretending the shit’s okay?

I think they should have put the other two actresses’ names name somewhere on the poster. I know Bey is more famous than they are, but their names should have been included as well!!

Anyway, I’m planning on seeing this movie. I hope Bey has stepped up her acting game from her past movies. Geeeeesh!

I will wait until the movie comes to dvd I will not support a movie where once again the spotlight is on Beyonce she is not that talented especially as an actress she is a horrible actress! And Jennifer Hudson will sing circles around Beyonce!

I don’t consider myself a ‘B’ fan, but I am anticipating the release of this movie. And y’all, we should give her a chance. She may shock us. Especially since she actually had to audition for this role. Jennifer Hudson should be on the poster, but Holly-tics say no, since she’s a newcomer. But mark my words, I bet she steals the spotlight from B.

“J.Hud sing circles around Bee?” LOL…In what world? She has awesome vocals don’t get me wrong but the range that Bee has is electric & one that J.Hud in my opinion can’t touch case & point: dangerously in love LIVE…her vibrato is sick!!!

^Are you kidding? Beyonce has limited vocal range

#65 MsFAMUtheNmba1HBCU ~ Well put! And, she’s talented as an actress! Beyonce is up there with Elvis, Luther, the Beatles, Michael, both Eddies, Jimi Hendrix, Donny, Frank, Sammy and Dean! Talents like hers only come around once in a lifetime!

I’LL WAIT FOR THE BOOTLEG!

MEATLOAF ARE HIGH OR YOU JUST RETARDED! BOTH OF YALL BUMP YOUR HEAD REAL HARD! COMPARING BEYONCE TO JIMI AND FRANK SINATRA YOU BITCHES NEED A HISTORY LESSON ON MUSIC TRUST ME!

on first glance this looked like some tonsils…loll

No… “HAHA” I haven’t bumped my head sweets nor do I need a history lesson on music. I’m simply stating my opinion & I haven’t compared Bee to anyone TRUST!… LOL at #70 I can definitely see the tonsils!

@#49,Preech!!!!!!!!. half of these folks don’t even know about the politics and technicalities behind a movie credits, and they already attacking beyonce for damn reason!!!!
J-hudson singing circles around beyonce???????? thats so laughable, sure J-hudson is a talented vocalist, but she definately can’t hold a candle next to the sheer vocal power of beyonce.beyonce got versatility, vocal range and prowness down to a tea. some of y’all need to hear,” listen”, by beyonce,totally blows away J-hudson’s version,”im telling you”, which doesn’t even come close to the orginal.

“I’m Foxy Cleopatra, and I’m a whole lotta WOMAN !”

*cringes everything I hear that line*

@ #4, here is the real spelling of “simultaneously”.

Yeah, i think ill also wait till the movie comes on cable to even attempt to watch it. Why they gotta have 3 pics of B doing differnt poses? lol.
